11、s BS 7212:2006, which is withdrawn.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard, and introduces the following principalchanges:1) new recommendations with regard to the role of hoist supervisor;2) new recommendations for dealing with temporary works;3) new recommendations f
12、or transporting of scaffolding materials in hoists;and4) new recommendations for driverless hoists.This British Standard was drawn up with the participation of HSE representativesand it will be referred to in the relevant HSE publications.This British Standard calls for the use of procedures that ca
13、n be injurious tohealth if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technicalsuitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating tohealth and safety at any stage.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type.
