BC § 3315.3
Runways, ramps, platforms, and other surfaces upon which motorized equipment, including but not limited to trucks, power buggies, fork lifts, or scissor lifts, is operated shall also meet the following minimum requirements: 1. The minimum width, inside of curbs or barriers, for any ramp, runway, or platform shall be 2 feet (610 mm) wider than the outside width of any motorized equipment operated thereon without passing, and 3 feet (914 mm) wider than twice such motorized equipment width in the places where passing occurs.
2.All runways shall be essentially level transversely.
3.Curbs or barriers shall be furnished along all motorized equipment traffic paths that are nearer than 10 feet (3048 mm) horizontally to any unenclosed area, shaft, or other open space into which or through which a fall of more than 12 inches (305 mm) from such surface is possible, except as set forth in numbered Item 5.
4.Where curbs or barriers are not required because the motorized equipment is operated on a surface up to 12 inches (305 mm) above another surface, the lower surface shall be strong enough to sustain the loaded vehicle in the event of a fall thereon.
5.Curbs or barriers may be omitted at actual dumping points more than 12 inches (305 mm) above other surfaces if the edge over which dumping occurs is provided with bumpers or other means that will effectively stop the motorized equipment from running over the edge while dumping.
6.Curbs or barriers must be at least 7 inches (178 mm) high, securely fastened, and capable of resisting side impact, and shall be equivalent to at least 2 inch by 8 inch (51 mm by 203 mm) plank set on edge against uprights securely fastened and braced at not more than 4-foot (1219 mm) intervals.
