Steps

  1. Confirm the work platform is a powered platform permanently dedicated to building maintenance under 1910.66, triggering Appendix C rather than 1910.140/1910.27(b)
  2. Verify whether the platform is suspended by two or more wire ropes; if failure of one rope or attachment could upset the platform, provide a vertical lifeline meeting Subpart I requirements for each employee
  3. If a secondary wire-rope suspension is used instead, confirm each employee is attached to a horizontal lifeline anchored to the platform in lieu of a vertical lifeline
  4. Confirm any horizontal lifeline is designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a qualified person and maintains a safety factor of at least two
  5. Confirm employees are trained under 1910.66(i)(1) before use, and after any change to a system component
