safety helmets, harnesses, fall arrest systems, and non-slip footwear to reduce the risk of injury.
3. Proper Training and Supervision: Workers, including Ditena and Disenke, must undergo training
on the proper use of equipment, working at heights, and emergency procedures. Additionally, a
competent person should supervise the work to ensure safety protocols are followed.
