The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) has received two key questions since the publication of ANSI/ASSP A10.28-2018, Safety Requirements for Work Platforms Suspended from Cranes or Derricks, which applies to platforms that companies suspend from the load lines of cranes or derricks.
Platforms are suspended in this way so that people can perform work at elevations that cannot be reached in a safe manner by other types of scaffolds or aerial work platforms; or to transport personnel to elevations where other means of access are unsafe or impractical because of design or site conditions.
