Guidance on Tying Construction Hoists and Mast Climbing Work Platforms to supporting Structures

This document provides guidance on the design and installation of construction hoist bases and supporting ties as hoists and mast climbing work platforms rely on their bases and ties for stability. Changes to standards for both hoists and the construction fixings used to attach ties to supporting structures have resulted in confusion in the calculation of tie loads, tie design and the selection of suitable fixings. The document provides clear guidance on tie and base design, selection and installation of fixings, and the presentation of temporary works information in a standard format. A number of template forms for temporary works are further incorporated
