Safe Work Australia releases new model code of practice: Elevating Work Platforms

Safe Work Australia has published the model Code of Practice: Elevating Work Platforms.
This model code serves as a practical resource for PCBUs (employers) and other duty holders on how to address health and safety risks associated with elevating work platforms, according to Safe Work Australia.
The new model code aims to help PCBUs and other duty holders in recognising and adhering to their duties.
“The model Code of Practice will replace two existing guides – the guide to managing the risks of elevating work platforms and the guide to inspecting and maintaining elevating work platforms,” says Safe Work Australia.
