Intent of this initiative is to:

  • Educate the industry on the industry-recognized-and supported standards, including the American National Standards Institute/Scaffold Industry Association (ANSI/SIA) A92 Standards and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
  • Present best practices and minimum general training guidelines for AWP equipment
  • operators.
  • Emphasize the differences between general training and familiarization.
  • Clarify minimum qualifications of the trainer.
