Elevated Surfaces

  • Signs are posted, when appropriate, showing the elevated surface load capacity.
  • Surfaces elevated more than 48 inches above the floor or ground have standard guardrails.
  • All elevated surfaces (beneath which people or machinery could be exposed to falling objects) have standard 4-inch toeboards.
  • A permanent means of entry and exit with handrails is provided to elevated storage and work surfaces.
  • Material is piled, stacked or racked in a way that prevents it from tipping, falling, collapsing, rolling or spreading.
