The Standard requires that when aerial
lifts are "field modified" for uses other than those intended by
the manufacturer, the manufacturer or other equivalent entity, such
as a nationally recognized testing laboratory, must certify in
writing that the modification is in conformity with all applicable
provisions of ANSI A92.2-1969 and the OSHA standard and that the
modified aerial lift is at least as safe as the equipment was
before modification. Employers are to maintain the certification
record and make it available to OSHA compliance officers. This
record provides assurance to employers, workers, and compliance
officers that the modified aerial lift is safe for use; thereby,
preventing failure while workers are being elevated. The
certification record also provides the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with
the Standard.
