Walking/Working Surfaces

摘要

Wayne Maynard is product director for workers' compensation at Liberty Mutual Insurance and a member of the committee revising the ANSI/ASSE A1264.1 Safety Requirements for Workplace Walking/Working Surfaces & Their Access; Workplace Floor, Wall & Roof Openings; Stairs & Guardrails Systems standard. "The scope of A1264.1 pretty much says it all," Maynard says. "It protects persons from dangers associated with falling from elevated walking and work surfaces and falling from elevated walking and work surfaces such as floor, roof or wall openings, platforms, runways, ramps, fixed stairs or roofs in normal, temporary and emergency conditions. That covers just about every industrial workplace out there."
