Fall protection, scaffolding and ladder use present potential OSHA violations in routine lighting maintenance in elevated locations.

To be effective, hazard reduction must be carefully assessed to ensure that the chosen solution doesn’t create more problems long term.

When buying new equipment, upgrading existing systems or designing new facilities, a maintainability assessment must include worker safety.

Lighting maintenance often involve light fixtures located in hard to reach, potentially dangerous locations. Innovative engineering controls allow safe task completion, where the light fixture is lowered to the worker.
