April 14, 1978
Mr. James H. Carr President Dear Mr. Carr: This is in response to your letter dated December 22, 1977, concerning the use of personnel hoists by the plant test personnel. Please accept my apology for the delay in response. The personnel hoist used during the construction of the coal gasification test facility is required to meet all of the applicable requirements contained in 29 CFR 1926.552 of the construction standards. After completion of all construction work, the personnel hoist would be in the jurisdiction of the State, City or local government. There are no applicable rules in the Federal General Industry Standards pertaining to elevator or personnel hoists. If I may be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
|
