We are due to have a goods/passenger hoist erected to remove materials from a roof, and have been told that we need a haki staircase next to the hoist for emergency purposes. Is this correct?

Sorry, I have no idea at all - but my advice would be to ask the person that told you this to prove it. It's often the easiest way to solve the puzzle.

It sounds like a suggested means of escape should the lift break down, but I'm sure other arrangements using regular platforms, ladders, harnesses and lanyards would achieve the same (if not better) means of emergency egress.
You do need an emergency plan, but is someone trying to sell you something here that is not an absolute requirement?

It sounds like the supplier is making a different point - if the hoist is the sole means of access to the rooftop, then should the hoist not be usable for some reason, the people *on the roof* need a means of egress. Once in the hoist you're already egressing - you may need a plan to get someone out if they're trapped, but you don't need a specific fire escape just for that person.

Yes, sorry,i did'nt explain myself properly in the first place, the hoist is not the only means of access to the roof, there are 2 other staircases, which can be used by persons in the event of a fire/emergency.
we have contracted the hoist company to erect a hoist, the haki staircase, in my eyes, is not an idea rescue plan.
Please advise
