Working heights refer to the vertical distance from the ground or floor level to the position where a person is required to work, often involving ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms. It's a key consideration in construction, maintenance, and industrial jobs to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Employers must assess risks and provide appropriate equipment and training for tasks performed at height to prevent falls and injuries.
