Notice of a grant of a permanent
variance.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
grant of a permanent variance to
International Chimney Corporation,
Karrena International, LLC, and Matrix
Service Industrial Contractors, Inc. (‘‘the
employers’’). The permanent variance
addresses the provision that regulates
the tackle used for boatswains’ chairs
(§ 1926.452 (o)(3)), as well as the
provisions specified for personnel hoists
by paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4),
(c)(8), (c)(13), (c)(14)(i), and (c)(16) of
§ 1926.552. Instead of complying with
these provisions, the employers must
comply with a number of alternative
conditions listed in this grant; these
alternative conditions regulate ropeguided personnel-hoisting systems used
during inside or outside chimney
construction to raise or lower employees
in personnel cages, personnel platforms,
and boatswains’ chairs between the
bottom landing of a chimney and an
elevated work location. Accordingly,
OSHA finds that these alternative
conditions protect employees at least as
well as the requirements specified by
§ 1926.452(o)(3) and § 1926.552(c)(1)
through (c)(4), (c)(8), (c)(13), (c)(14)(i),
and (c)(16).
DATES: The effective date of the
permanent variance is December 6,
2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In the past 30 years, a number of
chimney-construction companies have
demonstrated to OSHA that several
personnel-hoist requirements (i.e.,
paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4),
(c)(8), (c)(13), (c)(14)(i), and (c)(16) of
§ 1926.552), as well as the tackle
requirements for boatswains’ chairs (i.e.,
paragraph (o)(3) of § 1926.452), result in
access problems that pose a serious
danger to their employees. These
companies requested permanent
variances from these requirements, and
proposed alternative equipment and
procedures to protect employees while
being transported to and from their
elevated worksites during construction
and repair work inside and outside
chimneys. The Agency subsequently
granted these companies permanent
variances based on the proposed
alternatives (see 38 FR 8545 (April 3,
1973), 44 FR 51352 (August 31, 1979),
50 FR 40627 (October 4, 1985), 52 FR
22552 (June 12, 1987), and 68 FR 52961
(September 8, 2003)).1
1 Zurn Industries, Inc. received two permanent
variances from OSHA. The first variance, granted
