8 AAC 78.300 - Inspection, maintenance, and repair
(a) The operator of
a tramway or the operator's designee shall give the tramway a daily operating
test before a passenger is permitted to ride. The test must include the
operation of controls, speed--governing devices, braking equipment, and other
safety devices. Any condition discovered that poses a present danger must be
corrected before a passenger is permitted to ride.
(b) Any condition found during an inspection
that poses a present danger or is not in compliance with the manufacturer's
specifications must be corrected before a passenger is permitted to
ride.
(c) The operator shall
maintain a permanent record of each inspection or repair made to a tramway and
shall make the record available to the department, inspector, or tramway
specialist upon request. Each manufacturer recommended non-destructive
examination shall be performed as specified. All welding on steel components of
a tramway shall be done according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The
worker performing the welding must be certified in writing by an independent
testing laboratory to be qualified to perform the required procedure to the
standards contained in the American Welding Society Structural Welding
Code.
(d) At any reasonable time,
the department may inspect a tramway, and the operator shall assist with the
inspection upon request. If the department issues an order under
AS
05.20.030(2) to prohibit the
operation of a tramway, the operator shall immediately stop operation of the
tramway. The department will issue a report to the owner or operator
identifying the specific reason for closure and will tag the tramway as being
out of service. The operator may not re-open the tramway to public use until
the repairs or corrections are made and the department has approved its
operation in writing.
(e) After
accidental activation of a tramway's safety stop or gate, the operator or the
operator's designee shall inspect the tramway to determine the cause. An unsafe
condition identified during the inspection must be corrected before a passenger
is permitted to ride, except that operation of a tramway is permitted in order
to unload passengers. A safety or automatic stopping device that allows an
automatic restart of a tramway may not be installed.
