Wash. Admin. Code § 296-56-60129 - Platforms and skids
(1) You must
provide guardrails meeting the requirements of WAC
296-56-60123(3)
on all open sides of platforms and skids extending from piers, transit sheds or
lofts and used for landing or hooking drafts. Alternate means, such as nets or
safety belts and lifelines, may be used if guardrails are
impractical.
(2) You must protect
any employee working below a second-story platform or skid from falling
objects.
(3) You must make sure
platforms and skids are strong enough to bear the loads handled and are
maintained in safe condition. Safe working loads, which must be posted or
marked on or adjacent to platforms and skids, must have a minimum safety factor
of five for all parts, based upon maximum anticipated static loading conditions
and the ultimate strength of the construction material.
(4) You must provide and maintain platform
and skid attachments that will prevent accidental movement of the skid or
platform.
