Rule 3202.

(1) These rules apply to equipment that has a primary function of elevating personnel, together with their tools and necessary materials, on a platform, which is mechanically positioned. The units covered are described by the following American national standards institute standards:

(a) ANSI standard A92.2, 2002 edition, "Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Aerial Devices," which is adopted by reference in R 408.43204a. This standard applies to vehicle-mounted devices installed on commercial chassis and covers the following type of units (See figure 1):

(i) Extensible boom aerial devices.

(ii) Aerial ladders.

(iii) Articulating boom aerial devices.

(iv) Vertical towers.

(v) A combination of any of the equipment specified in paragraphs (i) to (iv) of this subdivision.

(b) ANSI standard A92.3, 2006 edition, "Manually Propelled Elevating Aerial Platforms," which is adopted by reference in R 408.43204a. This standard applies to work platforms which are manually propelled, which are vertically adjustable by manual or powered means, and which may be towed or manually moved horizontally on wheels or casters that are an integral part of the work platform base. (See figure 2).

(c) ANSI standard A92.5, 2006 edition, "Boom-Supported Elevating Work Platforms," which is adopted by reference in R 408.43204a. This standard applies to all integral frame, boom-supported elevating work platforms which telescope, articulate, rotate, or extend beyond the base dimensions. (See figure 3).

(d) ANSI standard A92.6, 1999 edition, "Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms," which is adopted by reference in R 408.43204a. This standard applies to self-propelled vertically adjustable integral chassis work platforms. Such work platforms are power-operated with primary controls for all movement operated from the platform. (See figure 4).

(2) Equipment adapted to elevating personnel with a primary function other than elevating personnel, such as fork trucks or cranes, are not covered by these rules. Those types of equipment are provided for in construction safety standards Part 10. "Lifting and Digging Equipment," R 408.41001a to R 408.41099a and Part 13. "Mobile Equipment," R 408.101301.

Exception: If the above-adapted equipment is equipped with controls that can be operated from the platform, then the requirements of R 408.43205 to R 408.43216 shall apply.
