This standard applies to manually propelled elevating aerial platforms to achieve the following objectives: 1 ANSI / SAIA A92.3-2006 (R2014) 2 (1) Prevention of personal injuries and accidents (2) Establishment of criteri
13、a for design, manufacture, remanufacture, rebuild/recondition, testing, performance, inspection, training, maintenance and operation (3) Establishment and understanding by designers, manufacturers, dealers, owners, operators, users, lessors, lessees, and brokers of their respective responsibilities
14、1.3 Application. The rapid development of a wide variety of elevating aerial platform designs necessitates the establishment of standards for their design, manufacture, maintenance, inspection, testing, training, performance, and use. Elevating aerial platforms are generally intended for use over le
15、vel surfaces. Normally, they are not insulated for use near electrically energized circuits nor are they intended to be used in hazardous locations. Any manually propelled aerial platform intended for use around electrically energized circuits shall meet the electrical requirements of ANSI A92.2-200
16、1. 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
17、and service of this type of equipment. 2 Referenced and Related American National Standards 2.1 Referenced American National Standards.
