ASSP A10.28-2018 PDF Download

The purpose of this standard, ASSP A10.28-2018, is to establish safety requirements for work platforms that are suspended from cranes or derricks. These platforms are used when other types of scaffolds or aerial work platforms cannot safely reach specific elevations, or when other means of access are impractical due to design or worksite conditions.

It is important to note that the use of cranes or derricks to hoist employees on a personnel platform should only be considered after a qualified person has completed a job safety analysis (JSA). This analysis should assess the feasibility of using conventional means of access, such as personnel hoists, ladders, stairways, aerial lifts, elevating work platforms, or scaffolds as practical alternatives. This underscores the importance of prioritizing safety and exploring all available options before resorting to suspended work platforms.
