Abstract
⺠A newly developed device to minimize fall accidents is introduced, the working platform, namely Rapid Demountable Platform (RDP) can be applied across window frames without fixing anchor bolts. ⺠The RDP provides another rapid and safe option for working at height. ⺠The development of the RDP has incorporated modular concept and aesthetic factor into the design, achieving a more user-friendly platform. ⺠The RDP is designed to act as an alternative or a supplement to the existing bamboo truss-out scaffold. ⺠The RDP is the first of this kind to minimize fall from height accidents especially in cities similar to Hong Kong where external working at height is frequently encountered.
