AGC America - WebEd: Understanding the New A92 Changes and the Responsibilities of the Competent Person for Underground Work
In this two-part presentation, we will first discuss the new ANSI A92 standard regulations for aerial equipment. We will cover how the manufacturers are changing the look and functionality of the machines, how the training requirements have changed and what will be required by the supervisors of operators of aerial equipment. The second part of this presentation will include a review of the results from a trench survey, conducted by CPWR-The Center for Construction Research and Training, created to reveal potential factors that may contribute to the alarming rise in trench fatalities. As we consider those results, we will review the responsibilities of the Competent Person and what they need to manage on a project with regard to soils, underground installations and the safety of the workers. We will conclude by discussing common and uncommon solutions for protecting workers and underground installations alike.
