    Preface


    This is the third edition of CSA Standard Z185 (now CAN/CSA-Z185), Safety Code for Personnel Hoists. It supersedes the second edition, published in 1975.


    The following are the major changes that have been made in this new edition:


    (a) the hoistway enclosure requirements (Clause 6) have been clarified and are now more comprehensive;


    (b) the buffer requirements (Clause 12) have been expanded and now cover oil buffers in more detail;


    (c) top car clearances (Clause 13.4) have been more closely related to the amount of counterweighting;


    (d) the requirements for terminal stopping devices (Clause 18) have been rewritten mainly for puposes of clarification;


    (e) requirements have been added for hydraulic drive machines (Clause 20.9);


    (f) the sections dealing with erection, operation, and maintenance of hoists have been relocated to an appendix, where they are now recommendations instead of mandatory requirements.


    This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Construction Hoists under the jurisdiction of the Standards Steering Committee on Lifting, Hoisting and Related Devices and was formally approved by these Committees. It has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.
