A redundant platform had been placed on the cast house floor awaiting removal to scrap area. This had
been laid for several hours, when the IP came and stood close to the platform talking to another
operative. The second operative then stood on the platform causing it to move and land on the IP’s
foot. The IP was taken to hospital where it was found that 2 metatarsals were broken.
A support under the platform
which had been Cut off,
was attached to a cleat by Redundant Platform
(wood should have been placed
a bolt.
Under platform to prevent movement)
As weight was applied to the
platform this acted as a pivot
and made the structure move
