Health and Fitness
|

Mandatory.
You must be fit and healthy for working at height
- and this includes wearing and being suspended in a full body harness.
Note that in many cases, you would have a duty to perform a basic rescue if
something went wrong. For example, all tower workers are expected to be
able to perform a rescue to get an injured worker safely down from the
tower.
You have a legal duty to disclose any medical condition
that could impact upon your safety of the safety of others.
For example, if you have severe allergic reactions to insect
stings that could cause you to go into shock and/or die, you have a duty to
disclose. Or, if you have an existing back injury that is incompatible with
suspension in a harness, this type of occupation may be unsuitable for you!
