Division 1.1

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

High-level or low-level movable or fixed workstations must be solid and stable, taking account of:

  • the number of workers occupying them,

  • the maximum loads they may have to bear and the weight distribution,

  • the outside influcences to which they may be subject.

If the support and the other components of these workstations are not intrinsically stable, their stability will have to be ensured by appropriate and safe methods of fixing to avoid any untimely or spontaneous movement of the whole or of parts of the workstations.
