That is madness, ask for a copy of the risk assessment.
Most canals are not as small as the UK's! Lock-gates elsewhere can be and
are much wider, especially where the gates are hydraulically operated so a
walkway can be installed on top without worrying about balance beams.
That does sound unsafe to ride over. I assume it has safety railings, but they
are likely to be of a height designed for a pedestrian, not a cyclist. A
cyclist who sideswiped one of the railings might well fall over the railing
into the water.
