ANSI Compliance is Mission Critical

The standards that govern the access equipment industry have changed, and the deadline to be compliant was June 1, 2020. Who’s affected? Everyone. Rental companies, equipment owners, supervisors, operators, technicians. So dig in and step up—it’s time to get serious about compliance. .

Why have the ANSI and CSA standards changed?

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) create standards that govern the design and use of aerial work platforms across North America. The last big change to these standards took place in 2006, so it was time for an update.

New ANSI standards for the U.S. were published in December 2018, while new CSA standards for Canada were published in May 2017. Drafted to be similar to international standards, like AS/NZS, CE, GB and ISO, these changes better align North American manufacturers like JLG with the global market.

The Impact of New Standards

Dealers, owners and operators need to make changes in the areas of training, job site safety and machine selection to accommodate the new standards and stay compliant.

Dealers & Rental Companies

  • Update training procedures to support new requirements
  • Offer familiarization to customers any time they rent, lease or buy equipment
  • Train technicians on new machine features
  • Update onboard manuals of responsibilities


Owners & Operators

  • Meet new ANSI training requirements
  • Give more consideration to machine choice
  • Participate in extensive planning to determine machines based on application
  • Perform site risk assessments for all MEWP operations, including training

 

Old machines don’t need to be retrofitted to meet the new standards.
