Lawrence Liftsafe Engineering (b) Clauses 5.3 and 6.2.6: fall arrest indicator testing has been revised to include dynamic testing requirements; and (c) Clause 6.2.2.4(d): in Class L harness testing, the test mass height has been
38、 increased to 1.0 m (3.3 ft). This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was prepared by the Subcommittee on Full Body Harnesses, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Fall Protection and the Strategic
39、Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. February 2012 Notes: (1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows. (2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated i
40、n its Scope, it is important to note that it remains 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 standardization Code of good practice for standardizat
41、ion 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 Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this publication. (4) To submit
42、a request for interpretation of CSA Standards, please send the following information to inquiriescsa.ca and include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line: (a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch; (b) provide a
43、n explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; and (c) where possible, phrase the request in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address the issue. Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing standard
44、ization and are published in CSAs Current Standard Activities, which is available on the CSA website at standardsactivities.csa.ca. (5) CSA Standards are subject to periodic review, and suggestions for their improvement will be referred to the appropriate committee. To submit a proposal for change to CSA Standards, please send the following information to inquiriescsa.ca and include “Proposal for change” in the subject line: (a) Standard designation (number); (b) relevant clause, table, and/or figure number; (c) wording of the proposed change; and (d) rationale for the change.
