Aerial Lift Compliance

The main difference between OSHA regulations and ANSI standards is that OSHA regulations are part of the law and are therefore mandatory. However, many OSHA regulations were based on ANSI standards, so there is a lot of overlap. OSHA can also adopt or incorporate an ANSI standard via "incorporation by reference." The incorporated standard becomes part of the OSHA regulation and is no longer voluntary.

OSHA requires that all aerial lifts are designed and constructed in accordance with ANSI A92.2.
