As per PASMA guidelines and the HSE, they both recommend not wearing a safety harness when working from a mobile aluminium scaffold tower. If the guardrails have been correctly installed as per the instruction manual, the tower will have the required fall protection. This mini scaffold tower platform is just that – a platform that’s 1m high topped with a three-sided guardrail. Allowing for a 2m tall person, you have a 3m reach with this model.

And the reach point (c) gives you the highest point that a person 2m tall (that’s the average height they use) can reach up to and work at. The tower is 4m tall; the maximum platform height is 3m and the reach height when you’re on the platform is 5m.
