workers safety when working at elevated levels. It will also provide employees with the knowledge
needed in order to inspect and use fall protection properly.
Each plant will implement measures to assure that work completed at heights is avoidable (if
possible – see Working at Heights priority matrix below), restricted, and done in a safe way in order
to prevent falls from heights.
The following priority setting must be applied for working on heights / near abysses:
Priority Priority setting for working on heights.
1 Avoid:
Make equipment accessible from the floor level.
2 Avoid: Put a fix work platform that is accessible via a lift or stair (or ladder if stair is not
possible) or put guardrails around the existing work area to avoid abysses.
use drones for inspections
3 Use a mobile work platform or scaffolds.
4 Use a ladder – if necessary in combination with fall arrest and safety nets.

For all roof works and for works on pipe racks and similar activities above 4m (13ft) (except if only
certified mobile platforms, certified scaffolding or cranes are used), safety Plans and method statements
MUST be reviewed and approved by ZBS/Zone Safety. No exceptions.
The work permit is our last check to verify if the persons performing the work are following the proper
procedures outlined in the method statement/safe work plan. It CANNOT be filled out from anywhere
except at the job site. The work permit is a verification that the work will be done safely and is following,
to the letter, the safe plan and method statements approved by ZBS/Zone Safety. The person/persons
signing the work permit is fully and completely responsible for the safe execution of the tasks and the
full adherence to AB-InBev requirements.
b. Contractors

VPO.SAFE.3.2.04. Safety Monitoring and Auditing
Contractors that will participate in working at height activities MUST be pre-approved with all of the
proper certifications/work experience for working safely at heights. The same requirements MUST
extend to any and all involved sub-contractors..
Contractor management also include the proper safety inductions.
MANDATORY monitoring and immediate work stoppages if the contractors do not follow safe
procedures.
c. Mobile Platforms/Cranes
VPO.SAFE.3.1.02. Working at Heights
Once it is determined that the work to be conducted must take place at heights, the very first option
MUST be to perform the work safely from a mobile work platform (scissor lift, boom lift, etc.).
ONLY AFTER EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO COMPLETE THE WORKS USING A MOBILE PLATFORM CAN
YOU CONSIDER USING OTHER METHODS. The mandatory use of mobile work platforms MUST be
included in the contract and safety plans and method statements.
If a contractor commits to using a mobile platform in the method statement/procurement process but
arrives at the site with plans to perform the work without a mobile platform, STOP THE WORK and send
the contractor away.
d. Safety nets
The use of certified safety nets is MANDATORY for all roof works and for works on pipe racks and similar
