CHST written lesson, 9 min read. CHST Domain 3: Safety Program Development, Implementation, and Sustainment
AI-drafted from the cited rules and fact-checked against them. Study aid, not site-specific safety advice. The official rule controls.

- Explain when manufacturer limits or an engineer's approval control
- Identify the A/D director and the outrigger duties during crane assembly
What this lesson covers
This lesson covers what OSHA's construction standard requires for vehicle-mounted aerial lifts: who may run them, what is tested daily, what workers may and may not do in the basket, and when the manufacturer's limits control. It also covers the crane assembly director and outrigger rules that share the same manufacturer-driven logic.
