3. MEASURES TO PREVENT FALLS

Preventing falls during assembly,
modification or dismantling of the tower
General
In line with local regulations or as the result of a risk analysis performed
by the scaffolding erector, personal safety apparatus (PSA), an assembly
guardrail or a combination of the two may be necessary for assembly,
modification or dismantling of the scaffolding.
Attachment points on the tower for the personal
safety apparatus (PSA)
The tower can be assembled/dismantled optionally with personal
safety apparatus (PSA) too. Suspend the snap hook during ascent
at least 1.0 m above the standing area of the still unsecured level.
The platform height must be at least 5.75 m. This results in a
minimum attachment height for the PSA of 6.75 m (Fig. 1).
