The platform must be at least 18 inches wide unless you can show you cannot do that.As an example, for a ten-foot span, that would be 2 inches. The maximum deflection for a plank is 1/60th of the span when loaded-that is when the plank is loaded.Of course, if you happen to be in California, the space is 16 inches, apparently an effort to split the 14- and 18-inch requirement. Not sure what happens if you use personal fall protection instead of a guardrail. The maximum space between the front edge of the platform and the work surface (the wall for example), before a guard rail is required, is 14 inches, unless you are a stucco guy.Not sure who you have to show it to but it’s reasonable to assume it’s the safety guy questioning your platform unit installation. The maximum gap between platform units is 1 inch unless you can show you have to have a bigger gap. ![]()
