![]() ![]() Employers must comply with the general requirements for scaffolds, including capacity, construction, access, loading, clearance from power lines, fall protection, and training. 450(b) and are therefore covered by OSHA’s construction standards in 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart L, particularly the general requirements in. ![]() While there are no OSHA provisions that specifically address mast climbers, they meet the definition of a scaffold in. Mast climbers may be easily customized, and their flexibility gives many trades multiple options for performing work efficiently, in safe and ergonomically correct work conditions. Their small base footprint makes mast climbers very useful on projects with limited space. ![]() Since guardrail systems are built-in, fall protection travels with the platforms. Proper platform positioning reduces material handling hazards and fatigue and improves productivity. Because mast climbers may be easily adjusted to optimize of working heights, they can reduce the potential for shoulder and lower back injuries to workers. The mast may be supported on a stationary base, or for some projects that are lower, on a mobile base. Mast climbers can be free-standing or tied to a structure at intervals for stability at increased heights. Mast climbing supported scaffolds (mast climbers) carry much heavier loads than traditional scaffolding and are used to position personnel and the necessary tools, equipment, and materials needed to perform work at great heights. ![]()
