What is the industry good practice for the maximum length of dead end platforms. Industrial site.
Researching numerous owners and EC’s, the range has been 20 ft to 26 ft.
OSHA USA states 20 ft., U.S.Department of Health makes no mention, Alberta Building Code makes no mention.Adding insight, the spacing between two ladders on elevated platforms shall not exceed 75 ft.
Can anyone explain why a dead end platform could not be one half of 75 feet?
Can anyone explain a principle behind the EC’s choosing 20 to 26 feet?Thanks
