This Standard establishes safety requirements for
powered platforms (scaffolds) for buildings where window
cleaning and related services are accomplished by
means of suspended equipment at heights in excess of
35 ft (11 m) above a safe surface (e.g., grade, street, floor,
or roof level). Additionally, this Standard establishes
safety requirements for permanent traveling ladders and
gantries (TLG).
It pertains to either permanently installed or transportable
equipment meeting the requirements of this
Standard.
Powered platforms and TLGs may be used or operated
by one or more persons engaged in services such as
normal building maintenance. The equipment may also
be used for tasks such as caulking, metal polishing,
reglazing, or other building repairs.
This Standard does not apply to other suspended
powered platforms used for remedial renovations or
modifications to buildings. The safe use of these scaffolds
is included in ANSI A10.8-2001, Safety
Requirements for Scaffolding.
This Standard does not relate to any service performed
by persons supported by equipment covered by any of
the ANSI A92 standards.
