A safety device for a work platform, for example a mobile elevated work platform or MEWP, designed to prevent items falling from the platform. The device comprises a barrier which is configured to couple to the work platform so that the barrier projects from the platform in a horizontal direction. The barrier may also project in a vertical direction, for instance diagonally upwards. The barrier may comprise a net and may be moveable between retracted and extended configurations. The barrier may be constructed so as to comprise a series or frames 5, 7, 9 connected to a base 1 which can be connected to the work platform by hooks 3. Panels 5a, 5b, 9a, 9b may be situated within the frames and the barrier 11 positioned at the working end of the platform. A method of improving safety on a work platform using the work platform safety device is also disclosed
