How far above the working platform should a toe board extend?

The correct extension of a toe board above the working platform is 150mm. This height is established to effectively prevent tools, materials, or other objects from falling off the edge of the platform, which is a critical safety measure on construction sites. By ensuring that toe boards reach this height, workers are provided with a safeguard against potential injuries that could result from objects dropping while work is being done above ground.

The standardization of this height helps maintain consistency across scaffolding practices and reinforces the importance of worker safety. In scaffolding and construction, adhering to regulations and safety guidelines is crucial to minimizing hazards; hence, the 150mm height has been determined to be effective for a variety of situations on scaffolded work platforms.
