Welcome to the Action Lift Blog

Be prepared as new industry standards are on the way. Standards A92.22 and A92.24 make sweeping changes to how the safe use and training for aerial equipment are addressed and administered. The new rules are placing a significant emphasis on the responsibilities of the user. Our training program will address the impact these changes will have on your fleet and operators.

The ANSI (American National Standards Institute) has implemented extensive changes to Standard A92. Once final, all aerial equipment brands and manufacturers serving the North American market and users of the equipment will have one year to comply. Here we will touch on the new standards for the safe use (A92.22) and training (A92.24) as it relates to aerial lift equipment. These changes go into effect March 2019.
