To Ensure Employee Safety And Avoid Accidents, The Regulatory Standard 35 (NR-35) States The Following:

Work at Height Is Work Performed At Heights Of 2 M Or More Above The Lower Level. However, NR 35 Recommends Conducting A Prior Analysis Of All Procedures To Be Performed On Site. Therefore, Even Work Performed Below 2 M In Height Is Subject To The Implementation Of Safety And Protection Measures. This Includes Informing The Worker About The Risks Involved In The Activity.

It’s Your Choice, Not The Boss’s…

Somewhere Along The Way, However, Some Employees Make A Choice Or Decision To Risk Their Lives By Ignoring A Safety Rule, Procedure, Or Even “Common Sense”. Are Their Bets Worth It? Don’t Bet On It.

Comparing To Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette Is The Game In Which You Put A Bullet In An Empty Revolver And Spin The Cylinder. Then You Put The Gun To Your Head And Pull The Trigger. There Is No Way To Know When The Bullet Will Align With The Firing Pin; There Is No Way To Predict It.

Just Like Ignoring Safe Work Practices, If You Play The Game Often Enough, You Eventually Lose. It’s Not An Accident If You Bet Your Life On The Random Spin Of The Cylinder And Lose. Keep That Thought.
