Work Platforms

  • Temporary work platforms include scaffolds, elevating work platforms, mast climbers, workboxes, building maintenance units, portable or mobile fabricated platforms or any other platform that provides a working area designed to prevent a fall.

Fall Protection and Work Positioning Systems

  • Anchor points must be used to secure a worker where fall arrest systems are required and must be installed by a competent person in accordance with an approved design prior to use.
  • If a single control is not sufficient, a combination of practicable controls may be used to provide adequate risk protection.
  • A work positioning system must only be considered if it is not reasonably practicable to carry out work on the ground or on a solid construction, or by providing a fall prevention device.
