2018年12月发布的新ANSI标准会影响空中升降机的所有业主，运营商和监督员，包括：繁荣，剪刀升降机和桥梁内检测机。新标准旨在提高北美设备标准更接近国际标准的安全性，允许公司和设备制造商在全球市场上更具竞争力。The new standards place greater responsibility on the equipment user/owner regardless of whether they are a large maintenance operation or a small business that rents a scissor lift, boom lift, etc. for seasonal work.Employers, owners and operators must be in compliance by December 10, 2019。
不要抓住警卫。了解有关新的ANSI A92.22安全使用标准的更多信息和ANSI A92.24培训标准。
The last significant changes to ANSI standards occurred back in 2006. The new, December 2018, updates replace ANSI standards A92.3, A92.5, A92.6 and A92.8. ANSI’s new A92 standards affect training, job site safety and equipment design. There are also new equipment classifications for scissor lifts, boom lifts, stock pickers, etc., and a new class of user: Occupants.
ANSI A92 MEWP Classifications
空中工作平台（AWPS）现在被称为移动升降工作平台（MEWP）。Rather than being classified by the equipment type, machines are now broken up by Groups, then sub-divided into Types。
MEWP团体
- 如果MEWP垂直移动，但在划线线内移动，例如剪刀升降机，则将其归类为A组。
- 如果MEWP可以超出划线线（舷外轮辋或轮子），则认为B组。BOM升降机是B组中的设备的一个例子。
MEWPS进一步分为类型：
Type 1: The equipment can only be driven with the platform in its stowed position Type 2: The equipment can be driven elevated but is controlled from the chassis Type 3: The equipment can be driven elevated, controlled from the work platform.
ANSI MEWP Classification Examples
-Group A, Type 1MEWP.：JLG 12 or 15 SPPush-Around Stock Picker空中平台从未超过底盘延伸，机器只能通过平台缩回。
-A组，3型MEWP：electric scissor liftor可驾驶股票选择器
这两种机器都适用于A组的描述，因为平台永远不会超出设备划线线，并且可以从平台启动旅行。
-Group B, Type 3 MEWP：Boom lifts
The aerial platform extends beyond the wheels and the machine can be moved by the operator while on the elevated work platform.
ANSI标准A92.22 - 安全使用
所有MEWP用户，包括全职所有者和偶尔租用空中设备的公司，必须制定风险评估和现场安全计划。The plan must be documented and shared with everyone on the work site.
风险评估
An effective risk assessment and safety plan should:
- 包括作业，位置和时间帧的描述
- Identify risks related to using the MEWP or other equipment, and any hazardous materials
- 列出哪位工人已收到培训
- 包括防止未经授权使用MEWP的措施
- 描述安全的工作程序和安全措施
- Be completed before work begins
- Used to select the best MEWP for the job
- Shared with everyone on the work site
- 包括秋季的工人救援计划，或者如果MEWP崩溃
Rescue Planning
Rescue planning is one of the new standards worth looking at in greater detail. The rescue plan must include steps to be taken:
- 秋天之后
- If the platform becomes entangled
- If the machine fails
——该计划必须写下来,添加到排版any training manual, and shared with all workers on the job site.
- 如果他们看到有人从MEWP落下，或者如果他们自己落下，那么在MEWP中或周围工作的人必须接受培训。
- 计划必须为正确抑制的工人悬挂在空中时的长度必须设置时间限制。
-The rescue plan can include options for self-rescue, assisted rescue, or technical rescue (emergency services).
ANSI Standard A92.24 - Training
Documented training remains mandatory for aerial equipment operators.The new standard now requires training for Occupants and Supervisors.Who Are占用者还
An Occupant is anyone in the MEWP platform who is not an Operator. Under the new standards, Occupants must receive training on fall protection systems and what to do if the Operator can no longer operate the lift.
The Operator is responsible for ensuring every占用者在平台上知道如何安全地在MEWP上工作。最后，必须有一个人可以作为运营商，并在发生意外故障或紧急情况下将升高的工人返回地面。
Changes to ANSI Training Standards for Aerial Operators仍然需要空中电梯运营商进行记录的培训，例如完成或认证卡。What’s new?根据新标准，运营商负责熟悉他们不熟悉的任何MEWP，包括：
- 阅读操作手册
- Doing a walk-around inspection
- Familiarizing themselves with the controls
- Understanding any limitations of the equipment
To ensure our clients are can use aerial lifts safely, TMH provides training and familiarization to anyone who租赁那leases or购买空中升降机来自我们。
ANSI Supervisor Training Requirements
According to ANSI A92.24, a Supervisor is, “An entity assigned by the user to monitor operator performance and supervise their work." Basically, someone who directly supervises one or more MEWP operators is considered a Supervisor by ANSI, and anyone who fits this description is now required to have aerial lift safety training. This requirement enables supervisors to reduce liability and improve safety by understanding:
- 什么类型的MEWP适合工作
- 适用于ANSI A92.22中定义的MEWP的规则，法规和标准，包括在风险评估中定义的安全程序（上文描述）
- The hazards associated with MEWPs and how to prevent accidents
- 确保操作手册安全存储，易于访问，可用于检查。
- Confirm maintenance technicians are trained to inspect and service the MEWP according to manufacturer’s recommendations
维护和维修人员培训
除了在停止服务之后评估3个月或更长时间后，除了评估任何MEWP之外，维护人员还必须进行年检。维护人员还必须接受任何新功能负载，如负载限制报警，倾斜传感器和风速传感器。
New ANSI Standards for Aerial Equipment Design
ANSI A92包括设备制造商的新要求。现有设备不需要改装以满足新标准。Here is a brief overview of what to expect:
-All new MEWPs must have a gated entrance to the work platform, chains are no longer permitted.
- 一些型号将减少升力和负载速度
-MEWP.s used on rough terrain will be required to have foam-filled or solid tires.
- 仅开发室内设备。
- 设备平台栏杆的最小高度将从39增加到43.5英寸。
Load limit, tilt and wind speed sensors
If the safe load limit is exceeded, an alarm will sound and a sensor will prevent normal operation. Similarly, all new equipment will come with a tilt sensor alarm and system to disable boom functions if the machine exceeds its slope limit. MEWPs designed to be used outdoors will utilize a wind-speed sensor to reduce load capacities and enhance safety in windy conditions.
