Is training required for workers operating around loading platforms?

Yes, workers handling materials on and off loading platforms should be briefed on safe loading procedures, load limits, and correct use of edge protection and access gates to avoid falls or dropped materials. Supervisors should also understand how to recognise signs of platform stress or damage during daily use. Sparkline Group provides guidance on safe platform use as part of the supply and installation process. This briefing is particularly important on fast-moving high-rise programmes with frequent material deliveries.
