Overview
The standard describes both the hazards which arise during the life of such equipment (see clause 4) as well as methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards when the machine is used as intended. The safety requirements and/or measures of this standard deal with the design of the base frame, guide rails, load carrying device, drive unit, electrical or hydraulic installation and the control of the hoist. They also include the design of guide rail support but not the design of the supporting structure (for example, building or scaffold) and any ties. Other aspects such as base enclosure, the design of any concrete, hard core, timber or other foundation arrangement, hoistway protection and the upper landing are dealt with in the users' manual section.
