Aerial Lifts (29 CFR 1926.453); Extension of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Approval of Information-Collection (Paperwork) Requirements

Riepilogo

OSHA solicits comments concerning its proposal to extend OMB approval of the information-collection requirement contained in the Aerial Lift Standard. Employers who modify an aerial lift for uses other than those provided by the manufacturer must obtain a certificate from the manufacturer or equivalent entity certifying that the modification is in conformance with applicable ANSI standards and this standard, and the equipment is as safe as it was prior to the modification. The manufacturer's certification demonstrates to interested parties that the manufacturer or an equally qualified entity assessed a modified aerial lift and found that it: Was safe for use by, or near, employees; and would provide employees with a level of protection equivalent to the protection afforded by the lift prior to modification.
