Variance Details

Code Name:

Other Code (Not in the list provided)

2004 ANSI A10.4, 11.3

Conditions:

The clearance between the car platform sill and the hoistway edge of any landing sill, or the hoistway side of any vertically sliding counterweight hoistway door or any vertical sliding counterweighted hoistway door, must be not less than ½ inch where side guides are used. This clearance shall be not less than ¾ inch where corner guides are used. The maximum clearance must be not more than 2-1/2 inches. Drop plates shall be prohibited except at the base landing.

The transport platform must be installed not LESS than 18¿ from the landing sill. Additionally, the unit has a fold-down ramp that provides the transition between the platform and the landing sill.

DEMONSTRATION THAT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE ARE PROTECTED:

1=Non-compliance with the rule will not be adverse to the public health, safety or w

2= Applicant will undertake alternative actions in lieu of compliance with the rule to ensure that granting of the variance will not be adverse to public health, safety, or welfare. Explain why alternative actions would be adequate (be specific).

Facts:

The 18¿ gap eliminates the sheer hazard of anything inadvertently protruding from the confines of the platform. There will be a landing gate installed within 8¿ of the landing sill and operated only from the platform side that will eliminate the risk of anyone standing on the landing sill while the platform is traveling.

DEMONSTRATION OF UNDUE HARDSHIP OR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE:

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of physical limitations of the construction site or its utility services.

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of major operational problems in the use of the building or structure.

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of excessive costs of additional or altered construction elements.

Imposition of the rule would prevent the preservation of an architecturally or a historically significant part of the building or structure

Facts:

BrandSafway (and other members of the Scaffold & Access Industry Association) have been utilizing and renting Transport Platforms in the State of Indiana since 2009 and have been operating with the understanding that IDHS recognized and accepted ANSI A92.10. The Transport Platforms at Cully Station were bid, contracted, engineered and installed per ANSI A92.10. The equipment is being used by Vectren Cully Station as part of their schedule maintenance turn around. Removing the Transport Platforms, re-engineering for material only hoists, re-installing new equipment, etc. would result in thousands of dollars of additional costs and the project would not be completed in time.

Variance Details

Code Name:

Other Code (Not in the list provided)

2004 ANSI A10.4, 11.3.1

Conditions:

The bridging device, if provided, must be designed and constructed to support the load. This device must be securely attached to the car at the threshold and shall be no longer than 12 inches.

The Platform Lifts are installed 18 inches from the landing, the bridging device must exceed 12 inches. Actual length is 22 inches.

DEMONSTRATION THAT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE ARE PROTECTED:

1=Non-compliance with the rule will not be adverse to the public health, safety or w

Facts:

The bridging device will be designed and constructed to support the load.

DEMONSTRATION OF UNDUE HARDSHIP OR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE:

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of physical limitations of the construction site or its utility services.

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of major operational problems in the use of the building or structure.

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of excessive costs of additional or altered construction elements.

Imposition of the rule would prevent the preservation of an architecturally or a historically significant part of the building or structure

Code Name:

Other Code (Not in the list provided)

2004 ANSI A10.4,14.1.1

Conditions:

Buffers of the spring or oil type must be installed under the cars and counterweights of the personnel hoist. The transport platform does not utilize counterweights.

DEMONSTRATION THAT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE ARE PROTECTED:

1=Non-compliance with the rule will not be adverse to the public health, safety or w

Facts:

The buffers under the car are high density rubber. The transport platform only travels at 40fpm. The rubber buffers by manufacturers design are sufficient to stop the platform in the event of a bypass of primary and final bottom stops.

DEMONSTRATION OF UNDUE HARDSHIP OR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE:



DEMONSTRATION OF UNDUE HARDSHIP OR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE:


		Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of physical limitations of the construction site or its utility services.





		Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of major operational problems in the use of the building or structure.




	Y	Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of excessive costs of additional or altered construction elements.




		Imposition of the rule would prevent the preservation of an architecturally or a historically significant part of the building or structure




	Facts:	BrandSafway (and other members of the Scaffold & Access Industry Association) have been utilizing and renting Transport Platforms in the State of Indiana since 2009 and have been operating with the understanding that IDHS recognized and accepted ANSI A92.10.

Variance Details

Code Name:

Other Code (Not in the list provided)

2004 ANSI A10.4, 17.2

Conditions:

The transport platform is not fully enclosed on all sides, personnel hoist cars must be permanently enclosed on the top and on all sides, except for the entrance and exit.

DEMONSTRATION THAT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE ARE PROTECTED:

1=Non-compliance with the rule will not be adverse to the public health, safety or w

Facts:

The transport platform is built not less than 18¿ from the landings and any other structure in the hoistway. The platform is enclosed with 42¿ tall guard rail, mid-rail and toe board. This eliminates the risk or riders coming in contact with any structure in the hoistway.

DEMONSTRATION OF UNDUE HARDSHIP OR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE:

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of physical limitations of the construction site or its utility services.

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of major operational problems in the use of the building or structure.

Imposition of the rule would result in an undue hardship (unusual difficulty) because of excessive costs of additional or altered construction elements.

Imposition of the rule would prevent the preservation of an architecturally or a historically significant part of the building or structure

Code Name:

Other Code (Not in the list provided)

2004 ANSI A10.4, 10.1

Conditions:

When the car rests on its fully compressed buffer, code requires there to be a vertical clearance of not less than two feet between the pit area (ground or foundation) and the lowest structural or mechanical part, equipment or device installed beneath the car platform.

DEMONSTRATION THAT PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE ARE PROTECTED:

1=Non-compliance with the rule will not be adverse to the public health, safety or w

Facts:

The Transport platform stops automatically at 10 feet (3 meters) above foundation, pauses for three seconds, then travels at 40fpm the remaining 10 feet with an audio alarm. This allows the operator to verify the area beneath the platform is clear of people or obstacles.
