Minumum Space Required on Perm. Elevated Maintenance Platform
Minumum Space Required on Perm. Elevated Maintenance Platform
(OP)
Hello.
I'm trying to determine if there is an O.S.H.A. requirement pertaining to minimum square footage of a "permanent elevated maintenance platform".
I'm faced with a situation that requires a permanent structure with a minimum area (due to limited space available) where two workers can perform maintenance on an electronic transmitting device located approx. 10 feet Abv. Fin. Flr..
Is there, per OSHA or BOCA, a minimum amount of space on this platform that will facilitate two workers simultaneouly.
Thank you in advance for any assistance with this question.

Make sure you provide proper railing given the height at which your employees will be working >6ft. You will have to install a top rail, mid rail, and toe board to ensure compliance.
