10. As part of your risk assessment do not begin to erect, move or dismantle your tower in excessive weather condions
including heavy rain, sleet or snow that can aect your an slip surfaces. Also avoid working in extreme heat and high winds.
11. Ensure you selected the correct plaorm height tower in relaon to the desired working height (usually 2m) to avoid over-
reaching and other unsafe pracces.
12. Inspect all individual components before use to ensure quanty, compability, any damages and all parts funcon correctly.
Damaged or incorrect components shall NOT be used.
13. Check the quanty of components supplied corresponds correctly to the king list of the tower height you are planning to
build. Do not start assembly if you do not have the correct number of components. Do not use any tower that has missing or
damaged parts or has not been properly assembled.
14. Erect an exclusion zone and place warning signs if applicable to your locaon of work.
15. It is recommended that a minimum of two person erect, alter and dismantle a tower but during the risk assessment addi-
onal person(s) may be required to perform the task safely.
Inspecon, Maintenance and transport
16. Regularly inspect the individual components to ensure that they are not damaged and funcon properly. Damaged compo-
nents shall be isolated, tagged and removed from use. They should be replaced and sent for repair or scrap.
17. Inspect all tube on frames, stabilisers and braces for dents, cuts and holes, damaged equipment should be isolated, tagged
and removed from use. Check all joints for cracked welds and that they are secure.
18. Inspect Brace Hooks, check the clicker is funconing correctly and the hook is not distorted from abuse. Check the brace is
not bent/dented.
19. Inspect Plaorm for damage to the decking and xings and that (if ed) trapdoor open and close freely and the hinge is
secure. Check the aluminium framework for damage and for cracked welds that may be damaged due to overloading. Check
the hooks are not distorted from abuse and the wind lock clips are aached and funconing properly.
20. Inspect Stabiliser couplers ghten and can be loosened freely. Ensure rubber foot is securely ed and not worn out. Check
for adjusng pins on telescopic stabilisers are ed and secured
21. Inspect castors, checking that the wheel turns and spins freely, that the brakes engage and stops the castor from spinning.
Ensure the castor has no at spots and has a SWL.
22. Inspect the adjustable leg threads are clear of burrs and the nut runs freely up and down the thread. Check the nut housing
for abuse or missing nodules.
23. Light oil or lubricang spray may be used to free up jammed, clickers, castors, adjustable leg nuts, stabiliser couplers,
trapdoor hinges and latches.
24. Do not put excessive loads on the components during storage.
25. When transporng the components do not use excessive strapping forces when securing the load, this may distort and
damage components if not done with care.
Assembling and Dismantling
26. Check ground condions are suitable for erecng and moving the tower and the ground can take the loads imposed by
the tower including weight of equipment and persons. Do not assemble tower on unstable ground such as drain, manhole
covers, compacted ll or any other hazards highlighted during the risk assessment.
27. Check for level and slope of the area where the tower is to be erected, moved and dismantled is within the levelling height
of the adjustable legs.
28. Check for obstrucons that could prevent erecon, moving and dismantling of the tower safely.
29. Check for overhead hazards such as power lines. Do not assemble a tower near uninsulated, live or energised electrical
machinery or circuits, or near machinery or plant that is in operaon.
30. Ensure the Tower is level. Castor wheels should remain LOCKED unless moving the Tower. Adjustable legs are used for
levelling the Tower. NEVER use to gain addional height. Extra height is gained by using addional compable components.
Other items such as ladders, steps, boxes etc should never be used to gain addional height.

31. All components should be passed up or down by hand where possible, where this is not possible use a suitable material
for liing (e.g. Heavy corded rope) and sucient knot es (e.g. hitch knot or mber hitch) DO NOT use mechanical hoists.
32. Towers MUST always be climbed from the inside for access and egress using the Integrated ladders or designated rungs.
NEVER climb the outside of a Tower.
33. Do not lean ladders against a tower or climb the outside. Climb the ladder from the inside as per the supplied access
system and use the trapdoor for access and egress.
34. Never climb on Diagonal or Horizontal braces. Never jump on to or o plaorms
35. Working is only permied on a plaorm with a complete side protecon including guardrails and toe boards.
36. Aer assembly or alteraon, the following minimum informaon shall be displayed on the tower:
a. The name and contact details of the person responsible
b. If the tower is ready for applicaon or not
c. The load class and the uniformly distributed load
d. If the mobile access and working tower is intended for indoor use only
e. The date of assembly
Safe Use & Loadings
37. Before use, check that all components listed in the kit list have been used in the Tower in the correct posion.
38. Care should be taken when using Power Tools or Jet washing or anything specic to your job that could imply side loads
and cause the tower to overturn. Maximum permied side load must not exceed 30kg (300n)
39. When liing components or materials keep within the base of the Tower. Ensure the total weight of the User(s) any
debris, materials being lied does not exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) of an individual plaorm (250kg) or the overall
structure (750kg) Loads must be uniformly distributed on the working plaorm and not block trapdoors.
40. Mobile access and working towers designed in accordance with EN1004-1 are not anchor points for personal fall arrest
equipment.
41. Work should only be completed from one Working Plaorm at any me complete with Guardrails and Toe Boards to
prevent persons and materials falling from the tower. Work should not be aempted from any other part of the tower
including stairs or braces.
42. The maximum number of person(s) permied on the working plaorm at any me should not exceed the SWL (250kg).
This should include any tools and or materials
43. You should never stand on an unprotected plaorm (guardrails must be in place)
44. Consider measures to secure the tower when le unaended.
Stability & Moving
45. Ensure the Tower is level and the adjustable legs are engaged. Check that you have taken all necessary precauons to
prevent the Tower being moved or rolling away. Always apply ALL brakes or use base plates for stac towers or inclined
surfaces.
46. Ensure that the scaold tower is within the maximum plaorm height as stated and that the appropriate stabilisers are
ed to suit. *Refer to king list.
47. A scaold tower should not be used or moved in wind speeds stronger than 17mph (7.7meters per second) (Beaufort
force 4). If wind speeds exceed this, consider tying the tower to a rigid structure or dismantling before it is exposed to the
strong winds.
48. Beware of the potenal wind factors where there is a possibility for the tunnelling eect of open-ended buildings, unclad
building and at the corners of buildings
49. NEVER t sheets or cladding to a Tower. Such items can act as a sail and impose extreme horizontal load onto a tower
causing it to overturn.
50. When moving a tower plan the route, removing any obstrucons, ensuring the ground can take the weight of the tower.
Beware of so and uneven ground. Pay aenon for overhead hazards and ensure that all materials and persons are
removed from the Tower. If there are any doubts about the route, then dismantle and erect in new locaon.
51. Towers should only be moved manually by pushing at the base of the tower at a usual walking speed. The Tower height
should be reduced to 4m if all 4 stabilisers are in place and 2m if less than 4 stabilisers are in place. Stabilisers are raised
approximately 25mm clear of the ground and then castors are unlocked and the tower can be moved.
52. When the Tower is reposioned reapply the brakes on castor wheels and the tower shall be levelled using the adjustable
legs for both horizontal and vercal alignment. The stabilisers can then be lowered making rm contact with the ground.
53. Towers should NEVER be lied or suspended by a crane or moved by mechanical means
54. Towers are not designed to be used as a means to enter or exit other structures
55. Towers are not designed to be used as a means of edge protecon
56. All towers should be inspected before use.
Further informaon on inspecon and maintenance can be found on Euro Towers inspecon posters. For further
safety informaon or downloading instrucons call Euro Towers or visit our website. www.eurotowers.co.uk
