Podiums

Introduction: Podiums provide a very useful and efficient working platform for numerous tasks when used properly. When misused, they provide a means of serious injury to both users and other employees.

Main points:
• Plan use of podiums. Ensure SWL’s are sufficient, that manufacturer’s guidelines are complied with, and that a competent person is available to erect, adjust and dismantle.
• Check all podiums prior to use; check general condition, check brakes/locking devices are working, check free rotation of wheels, check all bracings are in place, check for suitable access/egress and for suitable platform.

Discussion points:
• Podiums should only be used on level, firm surfaces. If surface is soft or not level then should only be used where adequate support is provided.
• Wheels should be locked whenever the podium is in use.
• Only integral steps should be used for access and egress – on no account rest ladders against outside, or use ladders off of podiums.
• Ensure all persons and materials are removed from podiums and gate is securely closed prior to moving, move by pushing at the base, avoid potholes/uneven surfaces, and beware of overhead obstructions – especially power lines!
• Podiums should be a minimum of 600mm wide.
• Gate must be securely closed before use.

NO JOB IS SO URGENT THAT IT CAN’T BE DONE SAFELY
