Work platforms are fitted on the outside with:
1° Guardrails consisting of two rails, one one metre and the other 45 centimetres above the floor;
2° Skirting boards at least 15 centimetres high.
However, these provisions do not prevent the installation of protective devices of at least equivalent effectiveness.
