Steps can sometimes be taken to combat the effects of the wind by the use, for example, O.2.2.5 of containment sheeting, containment netting or other types of barrier, or by working on the lee side of a building, structure or natural feature, rather than in an exposed area.Different wind speeds can affect continuous working times when working at height. For O.2.2.6 rope access, these times are likely to vary considerably, depending on factors such as the ambient air temperature, the height above ground and the precise nature of the worksite, e.g. working in suspension or on an inclined surface such as a pitched roof or an embankment.O.2.3Additional guidanceO.2.3.1In windy conditions, care should be taken to protect against various hazards, such as:a)foreign objects blowing into the eyes, e.g. grit, which can be addressed by the use of safety goggles;b)rope entanglement (see Part 2, 2.11.3.1);c)sandstorms, which can injure rope access technicians and cause damage to equipment;d)
