All platforms are to be tightly planked for the full width of the scaffold, except as may be necessary for entrance openings. Platforms will be secured in place.
Guard rails made of lumber are not to be less than 2 × 4 in. (or equivalent), approximately 42 in. high, with a midrail of 1 × 6” lumber (or equivalent). Toeboards will be installed at all open sides and ends on scaffolds more than 10 ft. above ground or floor. Toeboards will be minimum 4 in. in height. Where persons are required to work or pass under scaffolds, wire mesh is to be installed between toeboard and guard rail.
