34 Pa. Code § 7.364 - Hoist towers
(a) Hoist
towers may be used with or without an enclosure on all sides. However,
whichever alternative is chosen, the following applicable conditions shall be
met.
(b) When a hoist tower is
enclosed, it shall be enclosed on all sides for its entire height with a screen
enclosure of 1/2-inch mesh, No. 18 U.S. gauge wire or equivalent, except for
landing access.
(c) When a hoist
tower is not enclosed, the hoist platform or car shall be totally enclosed,
that is, caged, on all sides for the full height between the floor and the
overhead protective covering with 1/2-inch mesh of No. 14 U.S. gauge wire or
equivalent. The hoist platform enclosure shall include the required gates for
loading and unloading. A 6-foot high enclosure shall be provided on the unused
