This AGL 2024 toolbox talk explains live edge working hazards and how to control them. It defines live edges on roofs, scaffolds, access covers, water edges and excavations, highlights recent injury and fatality statistics, and outlines practical controls. Key measures include installing compliant guardrails and barriers, scheduling safety checks, using appropriate PPE and non slip footwear, keeping sites tidy, securing tools and materials, training and briefings, clear communication, risk assessments and signage. It also covers emergency readiness with posted contacts and first aid. The goal is to reduce falls from height and protect workers and the public.
