Max Wind Speed / cherry pickers
« on: July 30, 2014, 03:55:14 pm »
Hey Guys.
Currently writing a method statement for a roof clean. Will be accessing from a cherry picker then working from a purpose built bridge designed for the building.
One thing I am not sure about though is max working wind speed. I want to say we won't work in anything above a certain speed and put a clause in to say the job may take longer if wind is to high for any period.

Anyone know what the safe max wind speed is please?

28 mph - did you not do this on your training?

Thanks
I haven't done any training, I won't be driving the cherry picker, the crane driver will. He will also crane the bridge from one roof to the next.
I needed to know the recognised safe wind speed for working at height so I can incorporate it into my method statement.

Each machine is different so if youill need to hire one it will be in the manual. If it's comes with a driver then he should know what it is
