38、eptember 2002 viiPrefaceThis is the fifth edition of CSA Z91, Health and Safety Code for Suspended Equipment Operations. Itsupersedes the previous editions published in 1990, 1980, 1959, and 1949 under the title Safety Code forWindow Cleaning Operations.As indicated by the title change, the scope of
39、 this new edition of the Standard has been significantlyexpanded from previous editions. The focus has broadened from one skilled trade group (windowcleaners) to all persons whose profession demands that they work from equipment (for example,swingstages, bosuns chairs, and inspection cages) suspende
40、d from the side of buildings or largestructures.This Standard outlines the safe use of suspended equipment for the purposes of building maintenance,repairs, cleaning, renovation work, and inspections. It was prepared by knowledgeable and experiencedpersons employed in those areas and industries that
41、 are involved in building maintenance operationsand construction trades.The Standard is recommended for adoption by federal, provincial, and municipal authorities and byprovincial safety associations. It is also recommended for use by architects, engineers, and contractorsengaged in constructing com
42、mercial, industrial, residential, or multi-use buildings and by companiesengaged in building maintenance operations.This Standard is available for public review on a continuing basis. A public review provides anopportunity for additional public input from industry, trades groups, academia, regulator
43、y agencies, andthe public-at-large. Comments and questions are received, considered, and responded to by CSA staffand the Z91 Technical Committee.The Technical Committee wishes to give special thanks to the Commission de la sant et de la scuritdu travail du Qubec, the Construction Safety Association
44、 of Ontario, and the International WindowCleaning Association for their valuable contributions to the development of this Standard.This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Suspended Equipment Operations, underthe jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health
45、 and Safety, and has beenformally approved by the Technical Committee. It will be submitted to the Standards Council of Canadafor approval as a National Standard of Canada.September 2002Notes:(1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.(2) Although the
46、intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that itremains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.(3) This publication was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing
47、 standardization Codeof good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority,but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the TechnicalCommittee list and yet not be in full agreement
48、with all clauses of this publication.(4) CSA Standards are subject to periodic review, and suggestions for their improvement will be referred to theappropriate committee.(5) All enquiries regarding this Standard, including requests for interpretation, should be addressed to CanadianStandards Associa

Requests for interpretation should(a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch;(b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; and(c) be phrased where possible to permit a specific “yes” or “no” answer.Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governingstandardization and are published in CSAs p
