Description
Protect the edge before the work begins.
A routine cleanup task became fatal when work started beside an unprotected elevated edge. This practical toolbox talk helps crews recognize the fall path, control access, select and inspect protection, and stop when conditions change.

- Control access while fall protection is selected and installed.
- Use the required guardrail, safety-net, or personal fall-arrest system.
- Have a competent person inspect the protection before exposure.
- Plan prompt rescue and reassess changing conditions.
