The 2015 Ohio Belt Manlift Code is based on ASME A90.1-2009 with Ohio-specific amendments. This code sets the minimum standards for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of belt manlifts within the state of Ohio. The Ohio-specific amendments address additional safety requirements and conditions unique to Ohio, ensuring the reliable and safe operation of these industrial transport devices.
