NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 28, 2006, the Bureau of Elevator Safety has issued an order.
Granting Variance Requests in response to a petition filed on June 15, 2006 and advertised in the F.A.W. Vol. 32, No. 30 by Paul Shea of Alimak-Hek Elevator Company regarding LaFarge Gypsum Plant (VW 2006-168). The petition sought waiver from Rule 5.7.12.2 of ASME A17.1, 2000 Edition, as adopted by Chapter 3001.2, 2004 Florida Building Code. The petitioner requested to have a Special Purpose Personnel Elevator with a capacity of 1980 lbs an inside clear area of 17.46 ft². The petitions were granted as it was demonstrated that this elevator would exceed the required minimum load capacity and have very limited use.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202.
