Working At Heights
![]() |
Every day on PEI, people work at heights as part of their regular job duties. But no one expects to get hurt at work. In 2019, a worker suffered life altering injuries as a result of being struck by a suspended truss and falling 5.5 meters (18 feet) from unguarded scaffolding to the concrete surface below. As a result of fines levied on this case a widespread education campaign is now underway to ensure proper precautions and legal obligations of employers regarding working from heights are taken, to prevent further accidents like this from happening again.
