Mast climbing work platforms, also known as mast climbing systems, are temporary work platforms that are designed to transport personnel, equipment, and materials vertically alongside structures during construction and maintenance activities.
Key Features
Some of the key features of the mast climbing work platform include:
Major Components
The major components of a mast climbing work platform include:
Mast climbing work platforms are used extensively in commercial and industrial construction projects on structures like high-rise buildings, bridges, transmission towers, chimneys and more. The key advantage of these platforms is to provide safe vertical access for workers to conduct tasks at height during construction.
Proper safety procedures and guidelines must be followed when using mast climbing work platforms to ensure safety of personnel.
Hazard Assessment
Prior to starting work, the work site should be assessed for the following hazards:
Hazard | Control Method |
Falls | Install guardrails, use fall protection equipment |
Collapse | Proper maintenance, do not overload |
Electrocution | Maintain safe distance fr om power lines |
Equipment Use
Maintenance
Following proper safety guidelines as per OSHA's scaffolding regulations and manufacturer instructions is critical to prevent injuries or fatalities when using mast climbing work platforms.
The design, construction, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance of mast climbing work platforms are governed by regulations and industry standards from organizations like OSHA, ANSI, ASME etc.
