Question

What is the gap between toe guard and the platform should be?

Answer 1

There are regulations that are very specific about the heights of toe boards and guard rails and about the space between them. They require:

1. Guard rails and toe boards must be fixed along every side of working platform, including the edges of holes in the platform from which a person can fall more than 2m.
2. The height of guard rails must be between 914mm and 1143 mm above the platform and above any raised standing place on platform.
3. The height of the toe boards must be not less than 150 mm.
4. The distance between a toe board and lowest guard rail above it must not exceed 762 mm.
