Washington Administrative Code › Title 296 - Labor and Industries, Department of › Chapter 296-155 - Safety standards for construction work › Part L - CRANES, RIGGING, AND PERSONNEL LIFTING › Section 296-155-547 - Personnel lifting platforms (attached and suspended) - Scope

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) This rule
				applies to the lifting, lowering, and transporting of personnel using personnel
				platforms connected to cranes or derricks that are designed under ASME B30
				series. Personnel platforms can be suspended from the crane or derrick by wire
				rope, or attached to the boom of the crane or derrick. Using articulating boom
				cranes with suspended platforms is not allowed. The use of attached work
				platforms to the articulating boom crane must be approved by the crane
				manufacturer. Cranes and derricks are designed and intended for material
				handling, and are not required to meet the same design standards as manlifts,
				aerial lifts, bucket trucks, and other conventional personnel-lifting
				equipment. The lifting or lowering of personnel using material handling cranes
				and derricks is prohibited unless all of the applicable requirements of WAC
				296-155-547 through
				296-155-55405 are met. Digger
				derricks must follow the requirements in ANSI/ASSE A10.31-2006 when hoisting
				personnel. Machines that are designed to both ASME B30 series and ANSI/SIA
				A92.2, Vehicle Mounted Elevating and Rotating Aerial Devices must follow the
				requirements in ANSI/SIA A92.2-2009 when hoisting personnel.
(2) The use of cranes or derricks to hoist
				employees is prohibited except where the employer demonstrates that the
				erection, use, and dismantling of conventional means of reaching the work area,
				such as a personnel hoist, ladder, stairway, aerial lift, elevating work
				platform, or scaffold, would be more hazardous, or is not possible because of
				the project's structural design or worksite conditions.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Employers that manufacture personnel
				platforms and/or their suspension systems must be designed, constructed and
				tested according to ASME B30.23-2005, Personnel Lifting Systems. The design and
				manufacturer's specifications must be made by a registered professional
				engineer. Personnel platforms manufactured prior to the effective of this
				section must comply with ASME B30.23-1998.
(2) Only the crane/derrick manufacturer may
				approve the design and installation procedures for platform mounting attachment
				points on lattice type boom cranes and lattice type boom extensions. The design
				and installation procedures, for platform mounting attachment points on other
				types of cranes/derricks must be approved by their manufacturer or an RPE. All
				approvals must be in writing.
(3)
				Platform mounting attachments on the crane/derrick must be designed to protect
				against disengagement during lifting operation.
(4) The system used to connect the personnel
				platform to the equipment must allow the platform to remain within 10 degrees
				of level, regardless of boom angle.
(5) The suspension system must be designed to
				minimize tipping of the platform due to movement of employees occupying the
				platform.
(6) The personnel
				platform itself (excluding the guardrail system and personal fall arrest system
				anchorages), must be capable of supporting, without failure, its own weight and
				at least 5 times the maximum intended load.
(7) The personnel platform must be equipped
				with a guardrail system which meets the requirements of chapter 296-880 WAC,
				and must be enclosed at least from the toeboard to mid-rail with either solid
				construction material or expanded metal having openings no greater than
				one-half inch (1.27 cm). Points to which personal fall arrest systems are
				attached must meet the anchorage requirements in chapter 296-880 WAC, Unified
				safety standards for fall protection.
(8) You must install a grab rail inside the
				entire perimeter of the personnel platform except for access
				gates/doors.
(9)
Access
				gates/doors.
If installed, access gates/doors of all types (including
				swinging, sliding, folding, or other types) must:
(a) Not swing outward. If due to the size of
				the personnel platform, such as a one-person platform, it is infeasible for the
				door to swing inward and allow safe entry for the platform occupant, then the
				access gate/door may swing outward.
(b) Be equipped with a device that prevents
				accidental opening.

				remove hardware from service when it shows any conditions listed in Table 29,
				or any other hazardous condition.

				terminations, you must place the saddle on the live end of the wire rope, with
				the U-bolt on the dead end side. (See Figure 35, Wire Rope Clips.)
(c) You must test the assembly by loading the
				connection to at least the expected working load. After unloading, retighten
				the wire rope clips to the torque recommended by the manufacturer or a
				qualified person.
(d) Follow the
				manufacturer's recommendations for the minimum number of clips, spacing and
				turn-back measurements, and to the recommended torque values. In the absence of
				the manufacturer's recommendations follow Table 15.
