Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/178725
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) are routinely used in construction and maintenance activities. In many operating environments, tools are required to be secured to the work platform by lanyards or similar devices. However, small items (such as nuts and bolts) are very difficult (if not impossible) to secure in such a manner. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a work platform safety device, comprising: a barrier (11) configured to couple to a work platform such that the barrier (11) projects from the work platform at least horizontally. In this way, items dropped over the side of the work platform may be caught by the barrier.
