12、t, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993) (as amended from time to time). SANS 10295-2:2010 Edition 1.1 1 Introduction Suspended access equipment (SAE) is classified into two main categories, namely: a) permanent systems; and b) temporary systems. Permanent systems are known as building maintenance units (BMUs),
13、 whilst temporary systems are known as temporary suspended platforms (TSPs). A temporary suspended platform (TSP) is designed to provide safe working access by means of suspension by wire ropes to areas or structures under construction, cleaning or maintenance. TSPs are installed for a specific task
14、 to be performed and are removed from site at the completion of that task. In certain cases, permanent systems are supplemented by the use of TSPs. When TSPs are used in conjunction with permanent systems, the TSPs should comply with the requirements of SANS 1903, SANS 10295-1 and SANS 51808. Amdt 1
15、 If a TSP cannot be converted into a BMU, additional safety measures should be implemented to protect the public.

NOTE 1
17、 The safety requirements of this part of SANS 10295 are laid down with the assumption that persons are getting on and off the platform at one point. If the intended use of the TSP, specified by the supplier, includes getting on and off at different levels or points, the necessary additional measures
18、, which are not specified in this part of SANS 10295, should be taken to cover this specific situation. NOTE 2 All users should take cognisance of the relevant national legislation (see foreword), and its regulations and training disciplines before attempting to use a TSP. Amdt 1 2 Normative referen
19、ces The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of SANS 10295. All normative documents are subject to revision and, since any reference to a normative document is deemed to be a reference to the latest edition of that
20、 document, parties to agreements based on this part of SANS 10295 are encouraged to take steps to ensure the use of the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below.
