Aerial lifts have inherent risks associated with their use. The Air Force has established procedures to ensure only trained and qualified personnel are operating aerial lifts. In the past, the lifts were identified that did not meet regulatory safety requirements and foreign objects (FO) were found on the equipment. Based on this negative trend and a fatal mishap in years past, the following policies, procedures and processes will be adhered to when aerial lifts are used to support a contractor mission:

(2) Aerial equipment may be made of metal, wood, fiberglass reinforced plastic, or other material; may be powered or manually operated, and are deemed to be aerial lifts whether or not they are capable of rotating about a substantially vertical axis.

Aerial devices (regardless of guardrail, mid-rail or toe board configuration) will have fall protection attach points installed. Aerial devices will contain the manufacturer’s manual and operator’s safety manual. The applicable ANSI Standard will satisfy the requirement for a safety manual. The contractor and operating employee will be trained and certified on the leased/rental device and provide visual certification upon request. Aerial lifts will not be used to deliver employees to higher levels unless so certified.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR AERIAL LIFT DEVICES: To ensure compliance with 29 CFR 1910.66, Subpart F, Appendix C, 29CFR 1910.133, Personal Protective Equipment, 29CFR 1926.453, Aerial Lifts, 29CFR 1926.104, Safety belts, Lifelines & Lanyards, and 29CFR 1926.501, Duty to have Fall Protection; the contractor will ensure the following: Contractor employees will use fall restraint on all aerial lift devices unless so certified for fall arrest by the manufacturer.
