Mandatory
Hoist Run Off - No Loading Area
Must be applied at all locations
- To ensure a safe route is maintained for the movement of people, trolleys and materials when loading and unloading hoists, the following must be implemented.
- A ‘No Loading’ area must be highlighted by the painting of a hatched area on the floor.
- This area must extend a minimum of 2500mm from the base of the hoist ramp, or run off, and be the full width of the corridor (or 2500mm wide if in an open space).
- Where site constraints prevent the area being 2500mm by 2500mm, the no loading area must be as large as is possible.
- If there is a need for work to be undertaken in the hatched area that would restrict the area, this must be managed under a General Access Control permit (on SIMS), and the hoist operator advised this level is taken out of use
