is there anything that says you cannot work above a certain height unless on a tower or scissor lift for example. The reason I ask is becasue im not that great with heights and unfortunately working at height is what the majority of my new job is. Im talkling 20ft plus up on a A frame ladder. To say I am ****ting myself is an understatment, I just hope I can get use to it lol. On occasions I will be expected to change 400w ballasts whilst at the top and these are pretty heavy, tewn spot lights are on the menu two which are even heavier and one is going to have to hold it up with one hand whilst screwing it in with another. basically I wont be holding on.

My next question if I may, whilst at the top of this a frame I am haveing to take down these lights that clip on to a light track system. The idea is to turn them of on there switch which has a 1 setting 2 setting 3 setting and off setting and then unclip them, take them back down the A frame and change the lamp inside them or take out the guts and put in new lighter ones because the heat destroys them, when i go back up with me new light and clip it in to the light rail and turn it onto settings 1,2,3 from the off position, there is enarf a scary arching noise happening. I know I should be messing about with this if I dont no what im doing but ive never had any exerience with commecial stuff and I just wanna reasure myself im not about to get electrocuted whilst clinging on to a metal A fram 20ft in the air.
