您在高空作业时是否安全？（中英文）

根据2005 年《高空作业条例》规定，雇主必须采取“适当且充分的措施”防止材料和物体坠落并防止任何人被击中，而如何解决这个问题则由各个公司决定。

防止物品坠落的常见策略包括安装防坠网，以及在工作区域下方设立禁区，但在某些情况下，例如公共场所，这些措施并不总是能够做到。这种做法有帮助，但不能保证能接住所有掉落的东西（物体在下落时会弹起和反弹），这会使这些措施失效。

在高空作业时，将工具系在工具带、工具袋或结构上，就可以大大降低物品坠落的可能性。

挂绳有多种类型和最大承重能力，要确保为特定工具选择了合适的挂绳。

The 2005 Working At Height Regulations state employers must take ‘suitable and sufficient steps’ to prevent the falling of materials and objects and to stop anyone being hit and it is left to individual companies to decide how to tackle the issue.

Common strategies to combat dropped items include fitting drops netting, along with the creation of exclusion zones below the working area, which under certain circumstances cannot always be done such as public locations. This practice helps but cannot guarantee to catch everything that is dropped (objects can bounce and ricochet as they fall) which can render these measures ineffective.

By tethering your tooling when Working At Height to a tool belt, bag or structure this vastly reduces the potential of dropped items.

Lanyards come in varying types and maximum weight capacities to make sure that the appropriate lanyard has been selected for the specific tool.

通过使用合适的系绳将手动工具正确固定在固定点或工人身上，可以帮助减少坠落物体事故从而降低统计数据。

By properly attaching hand tools with the appropriate lanyard to a fixed point or worker, we can help reduce dropped object incidents & lower the statistic.
