English term

loft workers

English to French Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering Cranes for pile driving
Fixed leads shall be provided with ladder and adequate attachment points so that the ///loft worker/// may engage his safety harness lanyard to the leads. If loft platforms are provided, they shall be protected with standard guardrails.

Document related to pile driving this section deals with crane and their various equipments.

I take it the term "loft worker" would be related to "loft platform" but no clue as to what "loft" means in this context.

Thanks for your help.

Oui merci à vous deux je pense que vous avez trouvé la réponse, dommage que tous ces anglo-saxons (dont je fais partie) ne s'accordent pas sur un seul terme pour la même occupation cela nous rendrait la vie plus simple, en l'occurence je viens d'apprendre que le document a été rédigé par un anglo-canadien.

dated January 31, 1978, concerning tying off of loft workers, top men and pile monks during sheet piling activities. You pointed out that 1926.603(a)(8) requires pile driving equipment with fixed leads to have attachment points for loft workers to engage

"This is in response to your letter of December 31, 1994, to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in which you asked if the fall protection standards, 29 CFR 1926.500-503, effective February 6, 1995, supersede OSHA Instruction STD 3-13

tout dans le contexte va dans le sens du travail en hauteur les nacelles avec des pare-fous et les harnais de sécurité. Ils ont peut être des objets à fixer ou à saisir sur le sommet des pieux????
Ghyslaine LE NAGARD (asker) Apr 27, 2008:
Merci Florence et en effet cela peut correspondre mais je me demande dans quel cas des plateformes en hauteur et travailleurs en hauteur seraient impliqués pour le battage pieux qui est le sujet du document.
