What are the New Standards?

Has your company already reviewed the OSHA Regulation 1926.453 and the new ANSI/SAIA A92.22 and A92.24 standards for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms? Since the new standards went into effect June 2020, you will want to get compliant with the new rules right away. We are here to help!

The new ANSI standards will be subject specific such that ANSI A92.20 (design), A92.22 (safe use) and A92.24 (training) covers booms, scissors and manually propelled aerials. There is no easy way to say it other than “everything will change.” https://www.genielift.com/en/about-genie/news/2018/12/04/ansi-a92-part-1

What was once known in the industry as Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs), are now going to be referred to and known as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs). Scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers and aerial lifts are all included under the new term: Mobile Elevating Work Platforms, or MEWPs for short.
