Steps
Confirm the building requires window cleaning safety anchors under Article 5 (work involves standing on a sill or working from an opening a person could fall through)
Verify anchors are installed 42 to 51 inches above the window sill per Section 3283, or, for windows under 48 inches in height typically cleaned from outside, at approximately two-thirds the window's total height
Confirm anchors and fittings comply with the applicable portions of the referenced ANSI/ASME window-cleaning safety anchor standard incorporated by Article 5
Confirm anchors and fittings have been inspected within the required 12-month interval
Document inspection dates and anchor compliance for the specific California building before crew access anchors
Known gotchas
Cal/OSHA's Article 5 anchor placement and 12-month inspection cycle differ from federal OSHA's 1910.27(b) annual-inspection-plus-10-year-certification cycle; do not apply the federal cycle to a California-regulated building or vice versa
Anchor height rules differ by window height/cleaning-position type (sill-standing vs. outside cleaning) - confirm which condition applies to the specific windows before checking anchor placement
