The obligation
Appendix 6 of the Code gives a checklist, signed by the screen supervisor and area foreman, for climbing perimeter safety screens.
Before a climb, the formwork must be checked as clear of the screens, platforms swept at least 1 metre from the building edge, crews briefed and two-way radio set up with spotters. Edge protection must be in place at the building edge on all levels, with barricades and exclusion zones. Exposed back props closer than 2/3 of the prop length from the exposed edge are bolted to the concrete.
