SCOPE OF THE B77 COMMITTEE'S WORK
It is the responsibility of the American National Standards Accredited Committee B77 (ASC B77) to develop a system of principles, specifications, and performance objectives, which will reflect the current state of the art of passenger ropeway design, operation and maintenance, and which will be acceptable for adoption by government agencies and others. It is recognized that certain dangers and risks are inherent in the riding, operation, construction, and maintenance of machines of this type. These objectives are intended to result in passenger ropeways that are designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in a manner that minimizes danger and exposure to risk to its passengers, operators, and maintenance personnel, and will encourage improvements in productivity, efficiency, development and progress consistent with these objectives. Such a system with these stated objectives will constitute a safety standard.
