Minimum safety standard
PASMA, the trade body representing the mobile access tower industry, has launched a Publicly Available Specification – PAS 250 – a new safety standard for the design of low-level work platforms (LLWPs), also known as “podiums” or “pulpits”.
Published under licence from the British Standards Institution (BSI), it sets out the minimum safety and performance requirements for these essential, everyday access products.
The specification comprehensively covers all low-level work platforms with one working platform and side protection, for use by one person with a maximum working platform height of under 2.5 metres.
