All cab glazing shall be safety glazing material as defined in ANSI Z26.l.
(g) The crane operator shall be protected from falling objects at the normal work station. The protection required shall he based upon the materials being stored and their height.

(c) a minimum climbing space of 15 in.(381 mm) eachway from the centerline of the ladder and 30 in.(762mm) on the climbing side of the ladder shall be providedexcept when inside cages or hatchways are used.
(d) the distance from the centerline of the rungs tothe nearest permanent object in back of the ladder shallbe not less than 7 in. (178 mm).
(e) on ladders over 20 ft (6 m) in height, cages shallbe provided from a point not more than 8 ft (2.4 m)above the floor, to a point not less than 3 ft 6 in. (1.1 m)above the landing platform unless safety devices as perpara.13-1.6.3
