The Work at Height Regulations 2005
stipulates that new and existing platforms must be subjected to a baseline
survey. Platforms should then be subjected to periodic surveys
and further inspections prior-to-use. I
The StackTAG has been
carefully designed to ensure that persons using a platform can clearly identify
its survey/inspection history.
Baseline survey.
For new
platforms, the baseline survey is to be carried out after installation but
before use. This is, in effect, a commissioning survey. In the case of an
existing platform, a baseline survey should be carried out at the earliest
opportunity by a suitably competent person (e.g. a Structural Engineer). He or
she will report on the platform's current condition and whether it meets the
appropriate specification (refer to STA guidance note WAH 001 for more
information). The baseline survey should also state what acceptance criteria
should be used for checking that the basic specification continues to be met
during future surveys/inspections.
Periodic Surveys.
These are to
be carried out at prescribed intervals. The frequency of periodic surveys
should be risk-based, taking into account the current condition of the platform,
deterioration risk-factors and other issues. The frequency of inspection shall
be determined by a competent person (e.g. a Structural Engineer). Further
guidance is given in STA guidance note WAH 001.
Prior-to-use inspections.
These are to
be carried out within SEVEN days prior to use (if the platform is one
from which a person could fall more than two metres).
This inspection has to be carried out by a
competent person; however, this could be a member of a site's own staff who has
received suitable and sufficient training from a Structural Engineer on the
scope and conduct of prior-to-use inspections. Details of this training shall be
formally documented.
