§ 14-12-53. Boiler runway or platform.

A.

Runway or platform. Where necessary for safety, there shall be a steel runway or platform of standard construction installed across the tops of adjacent boilers or at some other convenient level for the purpose of affording safe access. The inspector shall notify the chief inspector of owners or users who must provide for these requirements and the chief inspector shall give written notice to the owner or user that the installation be made. The owner or user shall be allowed one year from the date of the chief inspector's notification in which to complete the work. All runways shall have at least two means of exit, each to be remotely located from the other.

B.

Exits from boiler rooms. To lessen the hazard of being trapped within the boiler room, ash pit aisles or other locations, there shall be at least two means of exit as may be considered necessary by the chief inspector or the board of boiler rules. Each elevation shall be provided with at least two means of egress, each to be remotely located from the other.

All authorized inspectors shall notify the chief inspector of owners or users who must provide for these requirements. The chief inspector then shall give written notice to the owner or user that the necessary work must be completed within six months from the date of notification.

C.

Conditions not covered by section. All cases not specifically covered by this section shall be treated as new installations, or may be referred to the chief inspector for instructions concerning the requirements.
