The ANSI A92 Standard Family
The ANSI A92 standards represent the most significant update to aerial work platform safety requirements in decades. These standards apply to all Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) and affect manufacturers, owners, operators, and occupants.
ANSI A92.20 - Design and Manufacturing
This standard covers the design calculations, structural requirements, and testing protocols that manufacturers must follow. Key requirements include enhanced stability testing, load-sensing systems, and improved safety devices.
ANSI A92.22 - Safe Use
Perhaps the most impactful standard for end users, A92.22 establishes comprehensive safe use requirements including pre-delivery inspection, workplace risk assessment before each use, rescue plan requirements, specific rules for working near power lines, and requirements for fall protection.
ANSI A92.24 - Training Requirements
This standard mandates training for four distinct groups: operators, occupants, supervisors, and maintenance personnel. Training must be both theoretical and practical, with documented certification.
