Set the equipment on a rm, level, non-slip surface.
Assistance may be required when handling and setting
up the staging.
Lightweight Staging must be supported on a level surface
at each end, such as a trestle, with a minimum overhang of
150mm or 300mm at both ends. Refer to the technical data
to determine the appropriate overhang for your length of
staging. Do not mix dierent heights or types of trestles.
The staging should be tied or secured to prevent
unintentional movement on the surface upon which it is
positioned. Any method used to secure the staging must
be strong, durable and weather resistant and incapable of
loosening or detachment without deliberate actions or tools.
Follow the requirements contained in the work at height
regulations when choosing and tting handrails and
toe boards.
Care must be taken to ensure the Lightweight Staging and
its associated trestles, handrails etc. are not left unattended
or where unauthorised people or the general public cannot
use or dismantle it. It should be made secure at all times.
If used outdoors, care must be taken to ensure no hazards
are present that could pose a risk to the health and safety
of both the user and the general public. Refer to safety
diagrams in Safe Use or safety label on the product for
outlines of the risks (weather, electrical hazards etc.).
If used indoors, care must be taken to ensure that
no hazards are present that could pose a risk to the health
and safety of both the user and the general public. Care
must also be taken to ensure no passageways; access
routes or re exits are obstructed.
Do not use additional equipment such as steps, boxes etc.
to gain additional height upon the staging. If such extra
height is required, either use taller trestles or consider
using alternative means of working.
