landings

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: landings Spanish translation: plataformas de descanso Entered by: Taña Dalglish

16:46 Feb 9, 2016

English to Spanish translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Safety / Scaffolds
English term or phrase: landings In this section of a safety manual, under Scaffolds, I find this phrase Unless a retractable life line and fall protection is used or **landings** are provided, avoid climbing scaffold ladders higher than 25 feet. Yes, obviously, some device on which to land safely, but would it have a specific name that anyone knows of? Thanks in advance.

Andy Watkinson Spain 16:51 Feb 9, 2016  "...on which to land safely" Sounds dangerous - isn't it referring to flat surfaces you can stand on, rather like the landing at the top of a flight of stairs? Automatic update in 00:

descansillos Explanation: No, I don't think they are talking about a place to land on safely, but rather about stair landings.     Reference: http://www.houzz.com/staircase-landing	Cristina Gonzalez United States Local time: 02:46 Native speaker of: Spanish PRO pts in category: 7
