It does not address elevators or front-end loaders.

APPLICABILITY. This MWI applies to all MSFC facilities and organizations that operate or maintain equipment covered by NASA-STD-8719.9. Compliance with NASA-STD-8719.9 is mandatory for all NASA-owned and NASA contractor-supplied equipment used in support of NASA operations at NASA installations. The responsible contracting officer shall include relevant requirements of this MWI in any contract that requires the contractor to purchase, install, modify, maintain, or operate equipment governed by this MWI. In addition, the contracting officer and responsible NASA installation/program safety office shall evaluate the need for compliance at contractor installations performing NASA work and shall make compliance a contractual requirement where deemed necessary.

It is understood that NASA organizations may delegate some or all of their designated responsibilities to subordinate divisions within their organization, to other NASA organizations, or to contractor organizations through contract specifications and statements of work.
