RE: [World] OSHA/ANSI CCL Standards

Thanks everyone for the help on this problem.  It seems we will be able to 
resume service from the inside the way we were doing it after showing them 
the ANSI I-14.  So far Ive only told them about it but they seem satisfied.   

BTW if anyone was wondering or confused by it, the "CCL" in the subject was 
supposed to be CCU

Both feet on the ground and one arm out the window I believe to be legal. 
See A.N.S.I Standard page 7, section 5.3.7

Hi Group,

We have a large construction cleanup project with multiple apartment 
buildings 5 stories with no anchors and all wood construction but there are 
no picture windows only sliders so we have been cleaning them from the 
inside and taking out the slider and reaching out to do the stationary pane. 
We are almost halfway through the project when the builder got a new 
"safety" guy, well really safety lady.  She insists that we not reach out 
the window to clean the outside of that pane and says that is a safety 
violation.  Instead they want us to use what the super called a T bar to 
come down from the 5th story window.  He described this as a cross bar or 
frame that is wider than the doorway to the apartment and has ubolts or 
rings to tie off to in order to make the drop through the window.  They also 
insist that OSHA has different safety standards for when a building is being 
constructed than when it has people living in it and that is why we cant 
reach out the window, and yet we can descend from a homemade Tbar thing.

Thanks in advance for any feedback from those who know the OSHA/ANSI 
standards that apply here far better than I do.  I would love to be able to 
site applicable language from I-14 to them in order to continue our project 
properly.

Sincerely,

Josh Lawlor,
