This steelTalks session, hosted by 3M in collaboration with the World Steel Association and steeluniversity, builds upon our previous series on contractor safety management. The session will focus on work at height safety, a critical issue that remains the leading cause of fatalities in the steel industry, especially when dealing with changing variables such as different suppliers, contractors, supervisors, and shift-based employees.

Join us as we explore strategies to enhance safety and reduce risks, and take part in a conversation that can help shape safer work environments across the industry.

Key points covered:
- Definition of Work at Height: What constitutes working at height and why it is critical in the steel industry.
- Considerations: Understanding the factors that increase risks, including changing contractors and supervisors.
- Clarity on Roles and Responsibilities: Emphasizing the need for clear communication and defined responsibilities for all parties involved.
- Hierarchy of Controls: Exploring the hierarchy of safety controls, including collective measures and the ABCDs of fall protection.
- Controls vs. Risks: How to balance and implement effective safety controls to mitigate risks.
- Inspections: The importance of regular inspections to maintain safety standards.
