The Safety, Health and Environment National Authority (SHENA) issues this urgent reminder to all principals, employers, occupiers, self-employed persons, and persons at work on the serious risks associated with work at height (WAH) activities. This is a call to action to review and strengthen WAH safe work practices including safe use of ladder in the workplace. This notice highlights key learnings from a recent fatal fall incident involving a ladder and reiterates the requirements outlined in WSHN on Importance of Safe and Right Use of Ladders at the Workplace (2025/WSHN/02).

The Safety, Health, and Environment National Authority (SHENA) urges all stakeholders to emphasize the importance of ensuring safe loading and unloading of vehicles. Loading and unloading operations are commonplace in the logistics, transport, retail, and waste management sectors. These operations are often labour-intensive and involve handling goods and materials, requiring physical movements such as bending, twisting, and transitioning between different work areas.
