What does this mean?
• The ANSI I-14 identifies accepted safe practices for window cleaning.
• OSHA refers to the I-14 standard when citations are written after a suspended work accident is investigated.
• According to the standard building owners and managers are required to provide permanently installed and identified tie backs no more than 15 degrees from perpendicular from a workers horizontal support lines. This rule applies to both bosuns chairs work and work requiring a swing stage. Further, these anchors are required to be certified every 10 years and inspected annually.
• In most cases buildings do not comply due to an insufficient number or improperly spaced anchors installed during the buildings initial construction.
• Program One can provide a roof top evaluation of your building to determine whether or not your existing fall protection equipment meets the requirements of this standard.
• As an authorized dealer for Peak Fall Protection Program One can inspect and certify existing systems or install the new anchors required to comply with the I-14.
