Working Platform Guidance

One third of all Dangerous Occurrences reported by FPS Members are related to working platforms. Every Dangerous Occurrence and every ‘near miss’ involving the platform is a potential fatality. Working Platforms must be designed, properly constructed, regularly inspected  and maintained for the plant which will use them.

The FPS Working Platform Certificate is explained below, along with further information and guides for Working Platforms.
