						Working platforms shall not be loaded in excess of the rated load as stated on
						the platform load rating plate.
(2)
						Employees shall be prohibited from working on snow, ice, or other slippery
						material that covers a platform, except to remove such materials.
(3) Adequate precautions shall be taken to
						protect the platform, wire ropes, and lifelines from damage due to acids or
						other corrosive substances. The precautions taken shall be in accordance with
						the recommendations of the corrosive substance producer, supplier, platform
						manufacturer, or other equivalent information sources. Platform members that
						have been exposed to acids or other corrosive substances shall be washed down
						after each use with a neutralizing solution at a frequency recommended by the
						corrosive substance producer or supplier.
(4) Platform members, wire ropes, and
						lifelines shall be protected when using a heat-producing process. Wire ropes
						and lifelines that have been contacted by the heat-producing process shall be
						considered to be permanently damaged and shall not be used.
(5) A platform shall not be operated in winds
						of more than 25 miles per hour (40.2 km/hr), except to move the platform from
						an operating to a storage position. Wind speed shall be determined based on the
						best available information, which includes on-site anemometer readings and
						local weather forecasts that predict wind velocities for the area.
(6) On exterior installations, an anemometer
						shall be mounted on the platform to determine on-site wind velocities before
						and during use of the platform. The anemometer may be a portable (hand-held)
						unit that is temporarily mounted during platform use.
(7) Tools, materials, and debris that are not
						related to the work in progress shall not be allowed to accumulate on
						platforms. Stabilizer ties shall be located so as to allow unencumbered passage
						along the full length of the platform and shall be of such length so as not to
						become entangled in rollers, hoists, or other machinery.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 639.
(1)
						The capacity of a means of egress from a building, floor, balcony, tier, or
						other occupied space shall be sufficient for the population thereof. The
						population for industrial and storage occupancies shall be based on the maximum
						number of employees or persons that may be in the space at any time as
						determined by actual count. All other types of occupancies shall be not less
						than the number computed in accordance with the provisions of table
						2.
(2) Mercantile occupancy in a
						single-story, noncombustible building with an approved, fully equipped
						automatic sprinkler system that is in compliance with General Industry Safety
						Standard Part 9 "Fixed Fire Equipment," as referenced in
						R 408.10606, may increase the
						square footage requirement in table 2 by 100%.
(3) The population of an occupancy shall be
						limited to the existing exit capacity of a building or space.
(4) Where an exit serves more than 1 floor,
						only the population of each floor considered individually need be used in
						computing the capacity of the exit at that level, if the exit capacity is not
						decreased in the direction of exit travel. Where a means of egress from floors
						above and below converge at an intermediate level, the capacity of the exit
						from the point of convergency shall be not less than the combined capacity of
						the converging exits.
(5) Table 2
						reads as follows:

Note: The computed population of an
									 occupancy is obtained by dividing the total floor area of a building, floor, or
									 fire area by the indicated square feet per person. Total floor area means the
									 floor area within the perimeter of the outside walls of a building, with no
									 deductions for any of the following: (a) Hallways. (b) Stairs. (c) Closets. (d)
									 Thickness of walls. (e) Columns. (f) Other features.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 641.
(1)
						An exit access must not be through a room subject to locking.

						the exit to which it leads, but not less than 34 inches. The headroom clearance
						must be not less than 6 feet 8 inches from the floor.
(4) An exit discharge must discharge directly
						outside or to a street, walkway, refuge area, public way, or to a yard, court,
						or other open space with access to the outside.

						to make clear the direction of egress to the street. Where an exit stairs
						continues beyond the floor of discharge, it must be interrupted at the floor of
						discharge by a partition, door, or other effective means.
(6) Exit access by the way of an exterior
						balcony, porch, gallery, or roof must be in compliance with all of the
						following:
(a) Be kept free from accumulations
						of snow and ice.
(b) Be a permanent
						direct route without obstructions, such as railings, gates, barriers, or other
						objects, that might divide the space into sections or rooms. Furniture or other
