\ 10.14.1.6.1 All records for the annual and frequent inspections documentation shall
be retained for a period of at least three years for Manually Propelled Elevating Aerial
Platforms (ANSI/SIA A92.3), Boom Supported Elevating Work Platforms (ANSI/SIA
A92.5), and Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms (ANSI/SIA A92.6). Written, dated

General Requirements.
10-14.2.1 Lift controls must be tested each day prior to use if the lift is to be used that
day, to determine if the controls are in safe working condition. Lift controls must be
tested on a monthly basis when not in use.
10-14.2.2 Do not alter the insulated portion of an aerial lift in any manner that might
reduce its insulating value.
10-14.2.3 Ensure the manufacturer's operation manual is available with any aerial lift.
