Spanish term or phrase: superficie estanca
Hola:

Necesito ayuda con este término, no tengo ni idea de lo que significa:
"Queda terminantemente prohibido trabajar a diferentes alturas al mismo tiempo, a no ser que se garanticen superficies estancas que impidan la caída de objetos y herramientas sobre los trabajadores que se encuentran en niveles inferiores."

Gracias por vuestra ayuda.
