Anchor Type:

Elevated Work Platform Anchor (EWP-A)

Anchor Rating:

Application:

1 Person – Free fall arrest = 15kN

Coatings

Plascoat PPA 571 ES is resistant to stress cracking, adverse weather conditions, detergents, salt spray and typical airborne pollutants. The coating maintains excellent adhesion to the metal substrate without the need for a separate primer. The material also provides good abrasion and impact resistance.

EPDM Washers:

2 x EPDM washers 4.5mm x 100mm OD x 16mm ID are supplied with all Elevated Work Platform Anchors.

This protects the coating on the anchors and creates a barrier stopping any contact between the steel anchor and the aluminium cage floor thus eliminating any corrosion.

The Safetor Elevated Work Platform Anchor is designed to be fixed to the floor of any Safety Cage (see photo) or to any flat sound structural platform or surface.

NB:

• You should always seek advice from a structural engineer before installing any height safety anchor points to any buildings or structures.
• All height safety anchors should be used as restraint anchors only.
• The anchors shall be inspected annually and immediately prior to each use, by a competent person, as defined in AS/NZS 1191.4:2009.
• No structural repairs or modification shall be carried out to the anchors without the express approval of Collins Corporation Ltd.

Operators must wear a harness with the following MEWPs:

• Truck-mounted boom lift
• Self-propelled boom lift
• Trailer-mounted boom lift (i.e. cherry pickers)
• Vertical masts, where manufacturer recommends a harness
• Any other boom-type lift, including spider lifts
• One that has a knuckle or pivot arrangement
• Any machine where a risk assessment shows it is necessary.

Operators must be harnessed inside the platform because the platforms of the above types of MEWP can tip suddenly when elevating (such as if it hits something or the levelling system fails) or the operator can be catapulted out when driving.

Operators in boom-style MEWPs must wear a safety harness with a lanyard fitted with a short energy absorber or self-retracting lifeline (SRL). The harness must be attached to a certified anchor point. If using an adjustable lanyard, make it as short as practical to keep the operator inside the platform. Select a lanyard length based on the size of the platform of the MEWP being used. Anchor points should be as close to the platform floor as possible

Warning:

Only competent users who have received training should use this equipment. (Refer to the AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 recommendations concerning selection, use and maintenance.)
