6、2:2014 The British Standards Institution 2014 iForewordPublishing informationThis British Standard is published by BSI Standards Limited, under licence fromThe British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 28 February 2014.It was prepared by Technical Committee MHE/4, Lifts, hoists and esca
7、lators. A listof organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request toits secretary.Information about this documentThis is a new British Standard which gives recommendations for safe working onlifting platforms.The standard is supported by the following annexes: Annex A shows som
8、e typical safety signs; Annex B is concerned with the wellbeing of persons working alone; Annex C describes electrical working.Use of this documentAs a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance andrecommendations. It should not be quoted as if it was a specification andparti
9、cular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are notmisleading.Any user claiming compliance with this British Standard is expected to be able tojustify any course of action that deviates from its recommendations.It has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that t
10、heexecution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified andexperienced people, for whose use it has been produced.Presentational conventionsThe provisions in this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrecommendations are expressed in sentences in which the princi
11、pal auxiliaryverb is “should”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users are
12、 responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.BRITISH STANDARDBS 9102:2014ii The British Standards Institution 20141 ScopeThis British Standard gives recommendations for safe working practices(supported by training) for: owne
13、rs of permanently installed lifting platforms serving defined landinglevels; persons having effective control of the premises where such liftingplatforms are installed; persons responsible for, and involved in, the design, installation, thoroughexamination, inspection, testing, service, maintenance,
14、 repair anddismantling of such lifting platforms.This British Standard gives recommendations for the safety of persons whengaining access to and from the area in which a lifting platform is installed andwhilst working there. The recommendations also relate to the safety of otherspresent in the vicin
15、ity, whether they are working or not, who could beendangered by the actions of those working on lifting platforms.NOTE 1 Hazards in work areas might vary, e.g. in occupied/unoccupied buildings,premises being refurbished, construction sites and industrial environments.This British Standard is applica
16、ble to persons working on lifting platformsconstructed to conform to BS 5900:2012, BS 6440:2011 and BS EN 81-41:2010.NOTE 2 Lifting platforms conforming to BS 5900 are powered homelifts withpartially enclosed carriers and no liftway enclosures. Lifting platforms conformingto BS 6440 have non-enclose
17、d or partially enclosed liftways and non-enclosed orpartially enclosed carriers. Lifting platforms conforming to BS EN 81-41 haveenclosed liftways and carriers that are not completely enclosed.This British Standard is not directly applicable to persons working on other typesof lifting platform, but
18、the recommendations may be taken as a useful guide forsuch lifting platforms.This British Standard does not cover: stair lifts; lifts designed under the Lifts Regulations 1997 1; vertical lifting appliances with an enclosed carrier (“slow speed lifts”)designed under the Supply of Machinery (Safety)
19、Regulations 2008 2;NOTE 3 There are lifting appliances that feature a fully enclosed carrierconstructed under the manufacturers quality assurance scheme and installedunder the manufacturers installation instructions for which this British Standardmight provide guidance. paternosters, mine lifts, acc

39、r shape, nor segregated, illuminated orlocated within similar environments. The range of possible equipment andinstallations has implications which need to be taken into account with all thesubclauses in Clause 4. In particular, the type of equipment installed hasimplications for: ensuring the compe
40、tence of those working on the particular equipment (4.2); liaison to ensure safe working (4.3); risk assessment, taking into account the particular type of equipment installed,and ensuring that workers have the appropriate details from the health andsafety file (4.4); provision of appropriate signag
41、e for the equipment installed (4.5); the safe use of the unlocking key (4.7); the method used for the safe release of trapped users, and relatedinstructions (4.11).The owners of lifting platforms in domestic premises might not be able to fulfil allof the recommendations in Clause 4.Recommendations t
42、hat are applicable to persons responsible for, and involved in, thedesign, installation, thorough examination, inspection, testing, service, maintenance,repair or dismantling of lifting platforms are given in Clause 5. Some of therecommendations in Clause 5 might not be applicable to lifting platfor
43、ms indomestic premises.The site person in charge, supported by their organization, is usually expected to beresponsible for the safety of persons working on lifting platforms. This does notabsolve individuals from acting responsibly in respect of their personal safety, or siteowners or other relevan
44、t parties from their respective responsibilities under law.4.1 GeneralThe recommendations given throughout Clause 4 should be applied by ownersof lifting platforms and by persons having effective control of the premises inwhich lifting platforms are installed.NOTE Attention is drawn to the Lifting O

48、ified competence is the qualification EOR/206“Lifting platform safety”, although other suitable qualifications existsee 5.2.2, Note 1).Clear written instructions relating to site emergency and first aid proceduresshould be issued by those responsible for the site, namely the owner or principalcontra

If the instructions are complex and/or specific risks exist, they shouldbe supplemented by a specific “site safety awareness” training regime and safesystem(s) of work.Specific training should be provided to all persons who are authorized to carryout the safe release of trapped users. Such persons should be made aware thatthis training i
