Section 11: Health and Safety Part 1.03:

Working at Heights

▪ PASMA has developed two methods of installing

guardrails that do not require the erector to stand

on a working platform until the guardrail frames

have been installed:

– (a) advanced guardrail system;

– (b) through-the-trap (3T method;

▪ These methods should be adopted by Contractors

as best industry practice in Qatar.

use of specially manufactured, hinged

guardrail frames that can be raised and

slotted into position from below.
