On February 15, 2018 the SAIA Aerial Work Platform Council Presented:
New ANSI Requirements & Meet the Manufacturer
The complimentary event began as a ‘lunch and learn’, to understand all changes and begin preparations for the update to the ANSI A92 Standards. It quickly evolved into the largest gathering of Aerial Work Platform Manufacturers, dealers/distributors, owners, employers, users, operators, regulators and educators in the SAIA Aerial Work Platform (AWP) Council’s History.
Forrest Hester of Tutus, LLC and Chair of the Aerial Work Platform (AWP) Council says “This event was a tremendous success and only the beginning for the SAIA AWP Council efforts to raise awareness and educate the industry on A92 Standard changes”. Forrest was proud to introduce four great speakers from the leading manufactures and International Powered Access Federation to a full house at the Houston Area Safety Council in Pasadena, Texas.
Ian McGregor – Director of Product Safety, Skyjack: Spoke on Entrapment and the importance of material selection.
Rick Smith – Senior Director, Product Training, JLG Industries: Spoke on Training Aerial Work Platform operators through virtual reality.
Tony Groat – Manager of IPAF North America: Spoke on safe use and supervisor training requirement changes for ANSI.
Chad Hislop – Engineering Director, Genie: Spoke on Changes to load sense, ground angle slope, and additional envelopes on wind ratings.
The event’s success is owed to the tremendous support from the aerial access equipment manufactures and sponsors who made this lunch-and-learn possible. Genie, Sunbelt, Reach Master, Risk Ergo, Teupen, Bronto and TUTUS.
