5.1 TRAINING
All people who must perform work at physical heights, as well as supervision, must receive
appropriate training. This training must include the relevant evaluation that verifies mastery
of this competence. The syllabus of this training must contain at least:

 Required facilities
 Correct anchors and connection techniques
 Methods of use
 Inspection of fastening elements
 Practice in the field on its use

6.- Material of the sign:

 Graphic: self-adhesive vinyl (solved inks with UV filter with a long-lasting

guarantee)
 Graphic support plate: must be Zinc or Metal
 Sign support: wooden or metal pillar (ensuring visibility with material
long lasting)

6.1 Dimensions, content and images

The dimensions and images of the sign will depend on the cost and type of work.

7. Important aspects

The printed graphic must be placed on a supporting metal structure with a plate of at least
0.50 mm (flat corrugated board) or the equivalent of No. 26 corrugated board, which must
guarantee the stability of the sign. If necessary, buttresses will be placed that allow for
adequate stability. The supporting structures will preferably be made of metal profiles (3”
galvanized iron pipe), which will be fixed using (screws to wooden columns), screws to the
3” galvanized iron pipe, which will then be embedded in the ground, in such a way that
they are perfectly firm and vertical.

 Fall of materials, tools, cuttings, slag, helmets, etc., on people passing under the
work area.

8.1.- PREVENTIVE MEASURES

 Work platforms must be protected from vacuum along their entire free perimeter, by a
railing that prevents people and materials from falling.
 In all work at height, the passage areas of the lower levels will be isolated and marked
to avoid damage due to possible falls of objects, materials or tools.
 Fall protection means must be placed correctly and maintained in good condition, and
must not be manipulated, modified, much less removed.
 You should evaluate a high work surface, for a good harness selection, with D rings on
the back, hip and double lifeline.
 The harness and life rope must be kept in good condition; if there are cracks or
damage, they must be changed.
