English term

working edges

English to French Tech/Engineering Safety Règlement afférent à la protection du personnel sur des chantiers et autres plateformes (chutes...)
Bonjour,

Je traduis un règlement afférent à la protection du personnel sur des chantiers et autres plateformes (chutes...).

"Edges of permanent walkways, platforms, and floors that expose personnel to a fall hazard of 4 feet (1.2 m) or more to a lower level must be protected by a standard guardrail system. The working edges of standard loading docks and rail platforms are excluded from this requirement."

Je ne suis pas certain que l'expression "working edges" ait le sens de "façonnage de bords" dans ce contexte.

Merci pour vos lumières !

Tony M Apr 3, 2013:
Definitely not! I can't for the moment think what the correct expression would be, but even I can be sure that your suggested term would not be applicable here; in fact, even in word-for-word, it wouldn't really be right, as it would rather translate 'edge working'.

Thank you, Kashew.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : I thought of that, but not too sure if it can be applied to railway platforms, and also, it is used with a slightly different meaning to refer to the edge of a lorry; couldn't find any concrete refs. to THIS context :-(
