directions, between the 1st and the 3rd rungs. Ensure the frames
are vertical and level by checking with a spirit level and setting the
adjustable legs as required. Fit stabilisers (see noteson page 30).

Fit a temporary deck on the lowest rungs. Fit a trapdoor
deck on the 4th rung (2.0m) with the trapdoor next to the
ladder. Ensure the trapdoor is positioned with the hinges towards
the outside of the tower as shown. Climb the ladder and, from the
protected trapdoor position, fit guardrails on the 5th and 6th rungs
(in that order) on both sides of the platform.
Do not climb onto the deck until it is fully guardrailed.
When horizontal braces are fitted as guardrails, they should be
0.5m and 1.0m (1 and 2 rungs) above the platform level in all
cases.
