The primary purpose of the catalogue of best practices is to ensure the safety of the winding ropes. It therefore addresses aspects that will influence rope loads, rope strength, rope deterioration and the condition assessment of the winding ropes. Other aspects of the stage and kibble winders that could influence the safety of personnel conveyed in kibbles and personnel working on the stage are included, e.g. the required braking capacities of winders
