Work practices Accesses Clause Samples

Work practices Accesses walkways and egresses should be maintained in a clear unobstructed condition at all times. Working platforms should be maintained in a tidy condition. Any build-up of material or debris should be monitored and progressively removed, avoiding any overload situation. Falling material or debris generated during use should be confined within the working platform or catch platform. Where molten metal cannot be contained entirely within a scaffold, such as during welding or oxyacetylene cutting, any areas affected should be isolated and a spotter stationed during the work. Any containment sheeting on such a scaffold must be resistant to combustion. Users must understand the importance of not working from improvised platforms to gain extra height or length, such as the bare framework of the scaffold structure, planks placed on guardrails, or stepladders placed on decks.
