Certification Of Compliance - MetalTech CLIMB-N-GO I-CNG Operational Safety And Assembly Instructions

Certification of Compliance

We hereby certify that the Climb-N-Go® (I-CNG) meets OSHA
1926.452(w) requirements for "Mobile Scaffolds".
In Section 1926.452(w)(4)
scaffolds must be designed for that purpose. " As the manufacturer of
the Climb-N-Go®, we certify that this product was indeed designed
for the above stated purpose. In fact, the Climb-N-Go® was designed
and tested as an integral part of all Metaltech Baker Scaffoldings.
Furthermore, an OSHA maximum speed indication is specified on
our multidirectional joystick. Moving a scaffolding at this speed level
complies with the maximum speed of 1 foot per second required by
OSHA in Section 1926.452(w)(6)(iv). The above-mentioned value
has been validated through testing.
There is a more specific requirement in Cal/OSHA regulations Section
1646 (j)(5) that states that the use of power systems such as motor
vehicles, add-on motors, or battery powered equipment to propel a
rolling scaffold is prohibited.
regulation is to prevent user-made propelling devices for scaffolding,
improperly tested or ill-designed. However, the Climb-N-Go®, when
installed with any Metaltech Baker Scaffoldings, constitutes a
complete motorized unit. Following the above-mentioned, the
Metaltech Climb-N-Go® Scaffolding System therefore does not fit the
definition of this Cal/OSHA requirement.
