“In skeleton buildings, on scaffolding and similar open structures, where work is performed over longer periods of time, and where the workers are expected to be exposed to impacts from the weather which pose a risk to their health, coverage or similar measures shall be provided during the winter season to afford protection against the weather to such an extent as is practicable and reasonable.”
– Arbejdstilsynet, guideline no D.2.11
Platform.as can cover your work platform, ensuring that the work performed from the platform meets the requirements of the Danish Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet). A covered platform helps reduce the number of weather-related downtime and sick days, promoting efficient workdays and job satisfaction – even when it’s raining and windy. Craftsmen can stay dry and avoid drafts and cold, reducing the risk of workplace injuries as the work surface remains dry. At the same time, the cover ensures that materials, electrical tools, etc., do not get wet.
A covered work platform provides protection in both good and bad weather. When it’s raining, people can work in dry conditions while being shielded from drafts and cold. At the same time, their materials and tools are protected from rain and sleet, preventing damage.
And on a sunny summer day, the cover protects craftsmen from the sun’s harmful rays, and the mortar doesn’t dry out in an instant.
All of this contributes to satisfied employees while minimizing sick days and weather-related downtime, as well as increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
There are many benefits to ensuring proper winter precautions, including covering, in addition to complying with the regulations of the Danish Working Environment Authority. Some of them include, for example:

LARGE AND DRY WORK AREA
Mast climbers are gaining more and more traction on construction sites and there is a very good reason for that. In addition to the obvious advantages like protecting the workers against the harsh weather, the platform also functions as a “personal” workshop. On scaffolding, the construction workers have to take their tools with them everytime they move. The mast climbing work platform gives the opportunity to move the platform without having to take the tools down first. The platform invites the construction workers to arrange the work area as they please.
WE TAKE CARE OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
At Platform.as we fight to ensure the best environment for the construction workers and craftsmen. The correct covering is an important element in this mission. It is not only a good investment for the companies and its employees but also a requirement from the Danish Working Environment Authority.
Platform.as designs and rents out customized solutions for mast climbing work platforms and hoists for all types of facade construction work. We offer an all-round service that includes inspection, delivery, assembly, relocation, service and pick-up as needed.
