Does GSK require workers to tie off while inside elevating work platforms (e.g., scissors lifts, man lifts)?

No, Section 22, Part 5 of the Contractor Safety Manual states that scissor lifts and man lifts are to be operated in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations and the latest OSHA requirements. In turn, OSHA refers to the ANSI standard containing requirements for specific types of equipment. The ANSI standard for self-propelled elevating work platforms requires that the platform be provided with a guardrail around its periphery.

It does not address tying off inside the platform. Currently more and more manufacturers are providing tie off points inside the platforms. In such cases, the contractor must follow the manufacturer s recommendations.

In the case of aerial lifts, as defined by OSHA under 29 CFR 1926.453 (e.g. Boom platforms), tying off is required. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
