Where is the Platform Guard located?

• A. On top surface
• B. Inside the guard rails
• C. Under platform
• D. Located under and on edges of platform

Answer: (D)

The Platform Guard is placed all around the edge of the platform, extending along the sides and just under the platform lip. This position creates a continuous barrier at the boundary, shielding passengers from the gap between the platform and the moving steps and preventing access to the edge or to the machinery beneath. Placing it only on the top surface wouldn’t protect the vulnerable edge area, and putting it only inside the guard rails or under the platform alone wouldn’t cover the edge where people stand or could trip. By being under and on the edges, the guard provides effective protection right where access and entrapment risks are greatest.
