MANUALLY PROPELLED MOBILE LADDER STANDS AND SCAFFOLDS (TOWERS) All exposed surfaces of mobile ladder stands and scaffolds shall be free from sharp edges, burrs, or other safety hazards. The maximum work height shall not exceed four times the minimum base dimension unless outriggers, guys or braces are added to provide stability. This standard requires guardrails and toeboards for work levels 10 feet or more above the ground or floor. OTHER WORKING SURFACES Portable dockboards (bridge plates) shall be secured in position, either by being anchored or equipped with devices which will prevent their slipping. Movement of the dockboard during material handling operations has resulted in forklifts overturning, or falling off the dock, often with serious injury or death to the driver and damage to equipment and material. Handholds shall be provided on portable dockboards to permit safe handling when the dockboard must be repositioned or relocated. Portable dockboards shall be inspected prior to use When not in use, portable dockboards will be stored in a manner to prevent damage
