The rapid development of a wide variety of boom-supported elevating work platform designs necessitates the establishment of standards for their design, manufacture, remanufacture, rebuild/recondition, performance, inspection, training, maintenance, testing and use.
Boom-supported elevating work platforms are generally intended for use on level surfaces.
Normally, they are not insulated for use near electrically energized circuits, nor are they intended to be used in hazardous locations. Any boom-supported elevating work platform intended for use around electrically energized circuits shall meet the electrical requirements of ANSI/SIA A92.2-2001
The operation of any aerial platform is subject to certain hazards that can be protected against only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense and not by mechanical means. It is essential to have competent, careful personnel trained in the intended use, safe operation,
maintenance and service of this type of equipment.
