Työskentelyalusta

A työskentelyalusta, or "working platform" in English, refers to a temporary structure or elevated surface designed to provide safe access for people to work at height. These platforms are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and industrial settings where reaching elevated areas is necessary for tasks such as building, repairing, or inspecting structures. The design and type of working platform vary greatly depending on the specific application and the weight and nature of the work to be performed.

Common types of working platforms include scaffolding, which is a modular system of poles, tubes, and fittings that can be erected to various heights and configurations. Mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), such as aerial lifts and scissor lifts, are also widely used, offering mobility and flexibility. Suspended platforms, often seen on the sides of tall buildings, are lowered and raised by cables. The selection of an appropriate working platform is crucial for ensuring worker safety and operational efficiency. Regulations and safety standards govern the design, erection, inspection, and use of working platforms to prevent falls and other accidents.
