Solution:
1. Construction engineers should design the scaffoldingsand other supports for the gondola lift very well. Thisincludes proper analysis of design and materials to be
used.
2. Proper operation for the Gondola Lift should befollowed. Construction workers must be informed.

3. Gondola Lift should be registered to the governmentagency (DOLE in Philippines) so that they can checkedand approve if your gondola lift is safe.
4. Each construction site should have a safety officer, whois responsible for informing the constructions worker aswell as ensuring the overall safety of the construction
