During a workplace inspection, you noticed a maintenance worker climbing a three-metre ladder with some tools in one hand, preparing to fix a leak in the ceiling. You know the safe work practices involving ladders and know that tools should not be carried up a ladder if three-point contact can't be maintained. You raise the issue with the maintenance supervisor, who speaks to the maintenance worker about not carrying tools up the ladder. You reported the incident to the rest of the OHS committee. As the OHS committee, you recommend that the employer purchase a baker scaffold or bucket lift so the maintenance department will not have to work off ladders. The employer rejects your recommendation on the grounds of cost, noting that maintenance workers don't have to work from heights "that often." You performed a comprehensive assessment of tasks that require workers to use ladders. You spoke to the maintenance and operations department and identified that workers are performing work while on ladders at heights 10 feet or higher approximately six times per month. You further identified that some of the jobs being done on the ladders take longer than 15 minutes to complete and are difficult to perform while maintaining three-point contact. When asked, maintenance workers also identified a couple of previously unreported near miss events where they had come close to falling or tools were dropped from the ladder. What your group, as an OHS Committee can recommend to the employer to address this problem? What action is required and by whom? Record your finding in the committee minutes
