Lessons Identified

It is possible to fit deck grating in the incorrect orientation and any grating sections removed should be inspected by a supervisor prior to returning the worksite for general use.

Incident Recommendations

Inspect all deck gratings to ensure they have been fitted correctly.

Share incident with Team Leaders to re-iterate that any gratings removed need to be re-installed correctly i.e. the welded section of grating to the outer frame which undergoes the most stresses should be placed above the structural beams.
