FSA Working at Height Permit Training

by Matthew Skeldon, from the Community

This FSA Working at Height Permit training template guides teams through planning and authorizing work at height. It captures site details, scope, dates and times, and establishes an execution zone with barricades, signage, spotters, and physical barriers. The checklist covers fall risk controls (restraint, limited free fall, and fall arrest), required PPE and equipment (helmet, harness, gloves, ladders, anchor slings, roofer kit, SRL, lanyards, scaffolds, and EWPs), and appointing a safety observer. It prompts inspection of access and safety equipment, verification of permanent or temporary anchor points, and creation of a high-risk rescue plan. Sections for work party members, verification of risk controls, and completion sign-off ensure the area is left safe after tasks are finished.
