					 used.
EXCEPTION: On cantilever derricks and masts equipped with
						an adjustable pipe-racking support, the outside platform may be not more than

					 (See accompanying illustration for pole steps for portable and stationary gin
					 pole masts.)
(b) When an employee
					 has to perform any duty at the crown block level of a telescoping type gin pole
					 mast in its operating position at a well, the upper section of the mast shall
					 be lowered to a point where the duties can be performed from the pole steps on
					 the lower section of the mast, unless access is provided to the crown block by
					 means of a fixed ladder having a safety cage at the crown block level. (See
					 accompanying illustration for pole steps for portable and stationary gin pole
