· Equipment should be checked for tears or holes before every use.

· If working on a bridge, safety nets should be in place below.

· Employees should be taught to be careful when going down stairs, and to remove any items blocking their path.

· Ensure proper lighting is in place before walking.

· Any repairs to climbing equipment, stairways, or light fixtures should be treated immediately.
