Diversified Inspections/ITL follows the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidelines adopted in 1969. This standard, A92.2, set forth the MINIMUM test requirements that must be considered and built into quality assurance programs for vehicle-mounted aerial devices to provide safe and proper operations. The standard includes user responsibilities for periodic inspection; and at a minimum, the owner/user is to provide the following: loading, stability, visual inspections and dielectric testing of insulated units.

Diversified Inspections/ ITL has been providing service to the electric utility and other industries since 1969 to assist your compliance with these standards.

ANSI A92.2, in effect, became law when the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) incorporated it into their standards 29CFR1926.556 and 1910.67. In 1979, 1990 and 2001, ANSI approved revisions of the: A92.2-1979 and A92.2-1990, of the 1969 standard. The responsibilities of the manufacturers, dealers, installers, owners and users were expanded and better defined with a greater burden of responsibility for the on-going structural and operational safety of the equipment being placed upon the owner/user. This standard places particular emphasis on inspection and testing.
