1)
Personnel should never be on platform while it is being transferred.
2)
Transfer of platform suspension rope, supporting equipment, or structure must be performed with the
platform resting securely on the ground or on full length supporting surface. Never attempt transfer
with the platform partially or completely suspended by the ropes.
3)
After paying out sufficient rope, move the platform and top rigging to new work location. Reinstall the
rigging (and any guy ropes), tieback and counterweights, etc. as required to provide safe rigging.
4)
Actuate Sky Climber hoists to take up slack rope until platform is just fully supported by suspension
ropes.
5)
If a wire winder is used to store excess tail rope, check to ensure that the rope is wound cleanly
without knots or loop twists before going aloft.
6)
DO NOT PULL ON STIRRUP OR USE HOIST TO MOVE PLATFORM LATERALLY.
7)
Test rigging as described in Step 6 of Section 3.5 before going aloft.
