Working at Height

NorthQ supports the planning and safe execution of work at height. We consider person-fall exposure and dropped objects together, focusing on work methods, equipment securing and rescue preparedness.

Work at height with helmets, harnesses and securing equipment

Client challenges and operational risks

Access constraints, temporary workplaces and changing conditions can introduce fall exposure and complicate rescue. Work needs a task-specific risk assessment, clear controls and a practicable rescue plan before it starts.

Our specialist services

Risk assessment and work planning

Review of work locations, access, exposure, simultaneous activities and exclusion zones. We support assessment of collective controls and personal fall protection arrangements within the agreed specialist scope.

Field verification and tool tethering

Practical checks of working methods and securing of tools and equipment at height. Anchorage, equipment handling and secondary retention arrangements are followed up against client requirements.

Training and safety dialogue

Workplace coaching, toolbox talks and practical exercises that connect the risk assessment to the actual job. Any requirement for approved working at height training is established separately.

Rescue preparedness and access

Review of rescue methods, communication, available resources and exercise needs. Rope access inspection and rescue from height require suitably qualified personnel and assignment-specific planning.

Typical projects and applications

The service is relevant to offshore installations, drilling rigs, vessels, scaffold workplaces, fabrication yards and industrial structures. Verification is adapted to the available access systems and operational conditions.

Scope and deliverables

Deliverables may include a verification plan, field observations, recommended actions, competence needs and follow-up of rescue preparations. Inspection qualifications, certification and any training approvals must be documented for each assignment; this website does not assert specific approvals.
