Falls from height
19 June 2025
Falls from height are a real danger, whether you work in passenger services, ground handling, fuels or cargo.
This risk is highest when operating GSE, such as passenger stairs/steps, passenger boarding bridges, belt loaders or loaders, fuelling equipment and de-icing vehicles, as well as in cargo operations or fuel facilities.
📣 As a MORSE reminder, remember to:
Follow correct GSE operating procedures
Inspect equipment regularly
Deploy guardrails and make sure they are secured
Access equipment using the correct entry point
Always use each rung of the ladder, maintaining three points of contact whilst climbing on or off equipment
Use the handrails provided
Wear the correct PPE, such as harnesses and non-slip safety footwear
Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings
