34 Pa. Code § 7.226 - Protection of entrances and exits
(a)
The entrances and exits at all floors or landings affording access to a manlift
shall be guarded by a maze (staggered railing) or a handrail equipped with
self-closing gates.
(b) Such rails
shall be standard guardrails with toeboards meeting the requirements of a
standard railing and toeboard as prescribed in this chapter.
(c) Gates, if used, shall open outward and be
self-closing. Corners of such gates shall be rounded.
(d) Maze or staggered openings shall offer no
direct passage between enclosure and outer floor space.
(e) Rails shall be located at least 2 feet
from the edge of the opening, measured at right angles to the face of the belt
and on at least one side parallel with the face of the belt. If lesser
clearance exists on the opposite side it shall be uniform throughout the travel
of the manlift. The intersection of the top rail and the end post at openings
shall be a bend or standard long sweep ell.
(f) Entrances at all landings shall be in the
same relative position, except where the building layout prevents.
