Certain lifts and hoists erected for use during construction work are exempt from the permit and inspection requirements.
Summary: Single-occupancy farm conveyances used exclusively by a farm operator and the farm operator's family members are exempt from L&I permit and inspection requirements. Single-occupancy farm conveyances are hand-powered counterweighted single-occupancy conveyances that travel vertically in a grain elevator and are located on farms that do not accept commercial grain.
