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)(5) Suspended Equipment > 1910.66(f)(5)(ii) Two and Four-Point Suspended Working Platforms
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(A)

The working platform shall be not less than 24 inches (610 mm) wide and shall be provided with a minimum of a 12 inch (305 mm) wide passage at or past any obstruction on the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(B)

The flooring shall be of a slip-resistant type and shall contain no opening that would allow the passage of life lines, cables and other potential falling objects. If a larger opening is provided, it shall be protected by placing a material under the opening which shall prevent the passage of life lines, cables and potential falling objects.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(C)

The working platfrom shall be provided with a means of suspension that will restrict the platform's inboard to outboard roll about its longitudinal axis to a maximum of 15 degrees from a horizontal plane when moving the live load from the inboard to the outboard side of the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(D)

Any cable suspended from above the platform shall be provided with a means for storage to prevent accumulation of the cable on the floor of the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(E)

All operating controls for the vertical travel of the platform shall be of the continuous-pressure type, and shall be located on the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(F)

Each operating station of every working platform shall be provided with a means of interrupting the power supply to all hoist motors to stop any further powered ascent or descent of the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(G)

The maximum rated speed of the platform shall not exceed 50 feet per minute (0.3 ms) with single speed hoists, nor 75 feet per minute (0.4 ms) with multi-speed hoists.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(H)

Provisions shall be made for securing all tools, water tanks, and other accessories to prevent their movement or accumulation on the floor of the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(I)

Portable fire extinguishers conforming to the provisions of ยงยง1910.155 and 1910.157 of this part shall be provided and securely attached on all working platforms.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(J)

Access to and egress from a working platfrom, except for those that land directly on a safe surface, shall be provided by stairs, ladders, platforms and runways conforming to the provisions of subpart D of this part. Access gates shall be self-closing and self-latching.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(K)

Means of access to or egress from a working platform which is 48 inches (1.2 m) or more above a safe surface shall be provided with a guardrail system or ladder handrails that conform to the provisions of subpart D of this part.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(L)

The platform shall be provided with a secondary wire rope suspension system if the platform contains overhead structures which restrict the emergency egress of employees. A horizontal lifeline or a direct connection anchorage shall be provided as part of a personal fall arrest system that meets the requirements of subpart I of this part for each employee on such a platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(M)

A vertical lifeline shall be provided as part of a personal fall arrest system that meets the requirements of subpart I of this part for each employee on a working platform suspended by two or more wire ropes, if the failure of one wire rope or suspension attachment will cause the platform to upset. If a secondary wire rope suspension is used, vertical lifelines are not required for the personal fall arrest system, provided that each employee is attached to a horizontal lifeline anchored to the platform.

1910.66(f)(5)(ii)(N)

An emergency electric operating device shall be provided on roof powered platforms near the hoisting machine for use in the event of failure of the normal operating device located on the working platform, or failure of the cable connected to the platform. The emergency electric operating device shall be mounted in a secured compartment, and the compartment shall be labeled with instructions for use. A means for opening the compartment shall be mounted in a break-glass receptable located near the emergency electric operating device or in an equivalent secure and accessible location.
