In the context of construction, the term "appointed
person" often refers to a specific role related to lifting
operations and the safe use of lifting equipment. This
role is crucial for ensuring that lifting activities on a
construction site are conducted safely and in compliance
with relevant regulations. The appointed person is
typically responsible for planning and supervising lifting
operations.

Ensure that all workers wear appropriate PPE, including
hard hats, safety glasses, high-visibility clothing,
gloves, and steel-toed boots.

safety nets, and personal fall arrest systems, to prevent
falls from elevated surfaces.
Inspect and maintain scaffolding regularly, and ensure
