| Safety Element | Legacy Practice | EN 1004-1:2020 Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Tower Height Scope | Applied only above 2.5 m deck | Covers all mobile towers from 0 m upwards |
| Ground to First Deck | Up to 4.6 m | Max 3.40 m to first platform |
| Intermediate Deck Spacing | Up to 4.2 m | Max 2.25 m vertical spacing between decks |
| Assembly Fall Protection | Exposed deck edge risk | Collective Advance Guardrail (AGR) / 3T method |
1. Collective Fall Protection & Shorter Platform Intervals
EN 1004-1:2020 eliminated the 2.5 m exemption, bringing low-level room scaffolds under strict stability and guardrail rules while capping vertical spacing between platforms at 2.25 metres.
