FINANCIAL ARGUMENTS
Financial codes and the frequency of the risk were used in the organisation to manage
financial settlements. An accident will result in monetary damages for the organisation.
Both immediate and long-term costs will result from an accident.
Direct expenditures include first-aid care, sick pay, and fines levied in criminal court against
workers as a result of mishaps brought on by the physical handling of large objects, height
falls, and vehicle movement due to a lack of the aforementioned control mechanisms. It
might also harm the equipment and supplies at the construction site. The cost of
maintaining and replacing this equipment will be prohibitive.
Examples of indirect costs include the loss of workers due to investigations, the expense of
hiring and training new employees, the decline in employee morale and goodwill, and harm
to the company's reputation and public image.
The productivity of the organisation will be negatively impacted by the time wasted as a
result of the accident, and more delays in subsequent activities may arise. In the event that
we are unable to honour our commitments and fail to deliver goods on schedule, clients will
seek monetary compensation.

Specific legal arguments Articles 14 and 18 of ILO Convention C167 mandate that the employer provide
appropriate scaffolding on the job site. The scaffolds should also have toe and mid rails for
optimum protection. The employer is responsible for making sure that every scaffold is
constructed in conformity with the guidelines provided by national health and safety laws.
The governing authority should also make sure that employees have safe working
conditions and a risk-free atmosphere. In order to lessen the causal impacts of hazards
related to persons falling from heights, the employer should be forced to adhere to all of
these legal formalities and procedures. The employer will be held accountable for any
inadequate facilities or safety precautions. Additionally, the employer should be subject to
penalties including fines and licence suspension.
Consideration of likelihood AND This risk has a very high possibility of occurring hence the likelihood is really high. 35
severity workers, including painters, carpenters, window installers, and electricians, routinely use
scaffolds and ladders while working at heights for nearly five hours each day. If the
• types of injury or ill health
platforms are dilapidated or lack guard rails, accidents could happen.
• number of workers at risk
• how often the activity is carried The severity of the hazard is major. Even a fall of less than 2 metres from a height can
out cause serious or even fatal injuries.
• how widespread the risk is Bone fractures, wounds, cuts, sprains, and lasting disabilities are frequent, as are joint
dislocations and other health issues.
