Appendix A presents examples of surfaces that are considered “slip-resistant”. 4. GENERAL The minimum criteria

23、established herein are based on one person using the access system at any one time. It shall also be recognized that some machine designs may require modifications or variances from the requirements presented. 5. GENERAL CRITERIA 5.1 Access system design shall consider: a. The probability of a user

24、being inadvertently restrained by protruding devices such as controls, steps or handles catching or holding body appendages or wearing apparel; b. Protrusions which could trip the user or increase the severity of an injury in case of a fall; c. Providing handrails or handholds with a smooth hand gra

25、sp surface; d. The probability of user contact with potential hazards such as extreme differences in heat or cold, electrical hazards, moving parts and sharp corners; e. Use of the access system shall be easily understood and require no training; f. Proper placement of components offering three poin

26、t support to the user ascending or descending the access system when more than 1 m above the ground. 5.2 Primary access system devices may be portable for convenient storage on the crane but shall be capable of being positively secured when in use or in the stored position. 5.3 An alternative exit s

27、hall be provided and shall be clearly indicated if not obvious. 6. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 6.1 The walking and standing surfaces of access systems shall withstand, without visible permanent deformation, the following minimum forces applied perpendicular to the surface. a. 2000 N concentrated through a

28、125 mm diameter disc applied at any location on the surface; and b. 4500 N uniformly distributed per square meter of surface area or fraction thereof if less than a square meter. These forces need not be applied simultaneously. SAE J2703 Issued OCT2008 - 5 -6.2 Openings in walkways and platform surf

29、aces shall not permit the passage of a spherical object of diameter greater than or equal to 40 mm. If the floor surface is above a surface where persons will be walking, standing or working, the opening shall not permit the passage of a spherical object of diameter greater than or equal to 20 mm. S

30、olid surfaces shall be used when necessary to prevent the passage of material that could result in personal injury to a person above or below the surface. For jib walkways and other similar areas that are used only for inspection or maintenance, the standing or stepping surface openings may be incre

31、ased to twice the above values. 6.3 Handrails, handholds and guardrails shall be capable of withstanding a minimum force of 1000 N applied at any point from any direction without visible permanent deformation. Flexible devices shall not deflect under the applied test load more than 80 mm from their

32、normal un-deflected position. 6.4 Machinery enclosure roofs used only for support of personnel during inspection, such as cab and canopy roofs, may comply only with 6.1 a). 6.5 All surfaces of the access system for e.g. walking, stepping or crawling (including any device or structural component ther

33、eof used as part of an access system) shall be slip-resistant.Crane track shoe and track pad surfaces can be used as access steps if three-point support is provided. 7. STEPS 7.1 Steps shall conform to the dimensions given in Figure 1 and Table 1. Where possible, steps should be wide enough to accom

34、modate both feet. 7.2 Where lateral body movement is necessary from the top or bottom step of a ladder to the next stepping surface, the distance between the rung and the nearest edge of the bearing surface shall be within a spherical radius R of 300 mm max. (See Figure 1). 7.3 Steps shall be coordi

35、nated with properly positioned handrails and handholds. 7.4 Wherever a foot can protrude through the step and contact a moving part, a shield shall be provided between the step and the moving part. 7.5 Step design should incorporate a barrier at the ends of the step which the foot will contact in th

36、e event of lateral slippage.7.6 The step tread surface shall not be intended for use as a handhold. 7.7 Step design should minimize accumulation of debris and aid in the cleaning of mud and debris from the shoe sole. Crawler tracks, if permitted as steps, do not meet this requirement. SAE J2703 Issu

The formula given for J shall always be satisfied.7.8 Step design shall, as far as is practical, provide the user with natural foot placement while descending, or steps shall be clearly visible to the user while descending. NOTE 1: Natural f

41、oot placement of steps does not ensure user confidence. Only familiarity with the access system can instill confidence. 7.9 Flexibly-mounted series of steps should be avoided. If used, the steps shall not move more than 80 mm elastically in any plane when a horizontal force of 1000 N is applied cent

LADDERS 8.1 Ladder steps shall meet the criteria specified in Section 7. 8.2 Vertical ladders which extend more than 5 m vertically above ground level sh

43、all be equipped with a ladder fall-limiting device, preferably of the passive type. Such a device shall not require continual manipulation for the user to ascend or descend the ladder. 8.2.1 The lower end of a ladder cage or other similar device, if used, shall be a maximum of 3 m above ground or pl

44、atform level. 8.2.2 The internal surface of a ladder cage on a vertical ladder shall not extend more than 700 mm from the steps nor shall its internal width be more than 700 mm. 8.3 A rest platform shall be provided at least every 10 m of vertical climb. 8.4 Winding or spiral ladders of vertical hei
