A suspended staging system 1 comprising a series of platforms 2, 3 each connected to the platform above it by means of separate flexible elongate elements 5 connected to corresponding link plates 4 on adjacent platforms. Separate attachment means 8 are provided whereby the staging can be suspended by a crane independently of the link plates 4 on the top platform 2 used for permanent fixing to fixed points Ton a surface. Each platform has a hatch 19 and a ladder 20 suspended below it, the ladder being mounted so that its lateral position is adjustable to ensure that the ladder can safely overhang the adjacent platform below it even when the staging is supported against an inclined surface e.g. the side of a vessel. The ladder is slidably mounted at the head on a rod, and has a roller at the foot, so that, upon collapse, the ladder lies between the platforms. When used as an escape, sheeting may surround the stack of platforms, and a water sprinkler system may be provided for cooling the immediate atmosphere and/or sheeting. <IMAGE> |
