•
Always comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 when erecting, dismantling & using
the

below for safety guidelines affecting the relocation of the tower.

erecting,
dismantling or using the tower. The tower is a conductive metallic structure.
•
The maximum safe lateral force for a freestanding Mini Duty tower is 30kg.

•
Fit guard rails at every level and ensure all wind latches are engaged at both ends of the platform.
•
Fit toe boards to all working platforms.
•
Intermediate (rest) platforms are installed every 2m.
•
The tower is not designed to be sheeted. Sheeting massively increases wind loads on the
structure.
Sheets, tarpaulins, cladding or similar must not be attached to the tower.
•
The tower is not designed to be lifted or suspended.
•
Every erected tower must be inspected at least every seven days and any tower which has been
left
unattended should be inspected before use to ensure that:
1
no components have been removed or relocated incorrectly;
2
the tower is still vertical; and
3
no environmental or other factors have arisen which will influence safe use of the tower.
•
Unattended towers should be tied in to a rigid structure.
•
Stabilisers or outriggers and ballast shall always be fitted when specified.
•
Where there is insufficient clearance to fit the specified stabilisers, contact your supplier or
the
manufacturer for specific advice. Where ballast or kentledge is used, it must be of solid
material,
placed on a platform on the lowest rung of the tower and secured against unauthorised
removal.
