Can anyone tell me the following:
Picture the platform what you walk on at the end of a trailer to conduct sheeting and un sheeting activities.
How high should the hand rail be to prevent a fall and where is the information found. I have read working at height regs and schedule two states 950mm. However I can buy a new trailer from a manufacture for thousands and they produce new ones with a handrail at 900mm.
Different standards state 1100mm other documents say between 900mm and 1200mm well confused.
Please help!

http://www.legislation.g...2005/735/schedule/2/madePlease note, British law is a minimum standard, it allows for us to be better. Without too going overboard, you could get drivers trained to use a harness (fall restraint) by having a place to clip on a lanyard. Alternatively, have several rails and a toe board, as people come in various sizes. Other than that, don't sheet, use a new curtain side truck, but ensure there are ratchet strap attachments points on the flatbed.

Josh, can you cover from ground level - either with a long handled winder or with an automatic sheeting device?
Particularly if you are buying a new trailer - eliminate the need to W@H all together.

Kim, maybe its a bulk tipping unit; some products cannot be carried on a flat bed, and thus there will be a need to sheet?
20t of loose animal feed would be an example.
