A bracket (22, 24) for an access platform, the bracket comprising: a main body comprising a base member and first and second spaced apart main plates (66, 68), the first and second spaced apart main plates having substantially the same shape, an edge of each of the first and second spaced apart main plates being joined to each other by the base member, the base member and the first and second main plates defining an open channel which is open at a side opposite the base member and at each end of the open channel, the open channel being configured to receive and provide a close fit around a tubular elongate member of an access platform; and first and second spaced apart connector plates of substantially the same shape, each of the first and second connector plates being mounted on the main body such that the first and second connector plates are spaced apart from and aligned with each other, each of the first and second connector plates being integrally formed and comprising first and second lugs (84, 86) and a bridge element all lying in substantially the same plane, the first and second lugs in each of the first and second plates being spaced apart from each other and joined by the bridge element, a main body recess being defined by opposing edges of the first and second lugs and an edge of the bridge element, the main body being received in the main body recess whereby the first and second lugs extend respectively from first and second oppositely directed sides of the main body, the first lugs of the first and second connector plates extending beyond the first main plate to constitute a first connection arrangement which is mechanically coupled to the main body and which extends from the first side of the main body to define a first recess, the first recess being defined between the two opposing first lugs and by an exterior surface of the first main plate from which the first connection arrangement extends, the first lugs being configured to mechanically couple to a first further tubular elongate member of the access platform when the first further tubular elongate member is received in the first recess, the second lugs of the first and second connector plates extending beyond the second main plate to constitute a second connection arrangement which is mechanically coupled to the main body and which extends from the second side of the main body to define a second recess, the second recess being defined between the two opposing second lugs and by an exterior surface of the second main plate from which the second connection arrangement extends, the second lugs being configured to mechanically couple to a second further tubular elongate member of the access platform when the second further tubular elongate member is received in the second recess. a main body comprising a base member and first and second spaced apart main plates (66, 68), the first and second spaced apart main plates having substantially the same shape, an edge of each of the first and second spaced apart main plates being joined to each other by the base member, the base member and the first and second main plates defining an open channel which is open at a side opposite the base member and at each end of the open channel, the open channel being configured to receive and provide a close fit around a tubular elongate member of an access platform;
