When fitting a full intermediate work platform it is
permissible to interrupt the continuous pattern.

After adding frames, always remember to
engage all interlock clips.
14.
Continue erecting tower to final tower height
repeating the 3T process as illustrated. Always
ensure that there is side protection to prevent falls.
Maximum verticle distance between platforms
must not exceed 4m.
When INTERMEDIATE PLATFORMS are to
be used as working platforms, fit a plain
platform beside the trapdoor platform,
ensure there are guard rails and mid rails
on both sides of the tower and that
toeboards are used.

Do not remove the handrails whilst standing on the
platform, this would leave you at risk.
