1910.66(f)(8) Control Circuits, Power Circuits and Their Components

OSHA 1910 General Industry > F Powered Platforms, Manlifts, and Vehicle-Mounted Work Platforms > 1910.66 Powered Platforms for Building Maintenance > 1910.66(f) Powered Platform Installations-Equipment > 1910.66(f)(8) Control Circuits, Power Circuits and Their Components
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

1910.66(f)(8)(i)

Electrical wiring and equipment shall comply with subpart S of this part, except as otherwise required by this section.

1910.66(f)(8)(iii)

Cables shall be protected against damage resulting from overtensioning or from other causes.

1910.66(f)(8)(iv)

Devices shall be included in the control system for the equipment which will provide protection against electrical overloads, three phase reversal and phase failure. The control system shall have a separate method, independent of the direction control circuit, for breaking the power circuit in case of an emergency or malfunction.

1910.66(f)(8)(ix)

Cables which are in constant tension shall have overload devices which will prevent the tension in the cable from interfering with the load limiting device required in paragraph (f)(8)(vi)(B) of this section, or with the platform roll limiting device required in paragraph (f)(5)(ii)(C) of this section. The setting of these devices shall be coordinated with other overload settings at the time of design of the system, and shall be clearly indicated on or near the device. The device shall interrupt the equipment travel in the "down" direction.

1910.66(f)(8)(v)

Suspended or supported equipment shall have a control system which will require the operator of the equipment to follow predetermined procedures.

1910.66(f)(8)(vi)

The following requirements shall apply to electrical protection devices:

1910.66(f)(8)(vi)(A)

On installations where the carriage does not have a stability factor of at least four against overturning, electrical contact(s) shall be provided and so connected that the operating devices for the suspended or supported equipment shall be operative only when the carriage is located and mechanically retained at an established operating point.

1910.66(f)(8)(vi)(B)

Overload protection shall be provided in the hoisting or suspension system to protect against the equipment operating in the "up" direction with a load in excess of 125 percent of the rated load of the platform; and

1910.66(f)(8)(vi)(C)

An automatic detector shall be provided for each suspension point that will interrupt power to all hoisting motors for travel in the "down" direction, and apply the primary brakes if any suspension wire rope becomes slack. A continuous-pressure rigging-bypass switch designed for use during rigging is permitted. This switch shall only be used during rigging.

1910.66(f)(8)(vii)

Upper and lower directional switches designed to prevent the travel of suspended units beyond safe upward and downward levels shall be provided.

1910.66(f)(8)(viii)

Emergency stop switches shall be provided on remote controlled, roof-powered manned platforms adjacent to each control station on the platform.

1910.66(f)(8)(ii)

Electrical runway conductor systems shall be of a type designed for use in exterior locations, and shall be located so that they do not come into contact with accumulated snow or water.
