AEM has updated a pair of recent safety manuals.
The updates to AEM’s Aerial Platform Safety Manual (now titled Mobile Elevating Work Platform Safety Manual) and Mobile Crane Safety Manual offer user-friendly and easily accessible content on safe practices to use when operating and maintaining machinery.
“We appreciate our member companies and their product safety experts for their efforts in developing, reviewing and approving these updates, ensuring they truly represent best practices for safe equipment operation,” said AEM safety materials manager Becca Basten.
AEM’s safety materials are consensus documents that are developed, reviewed, and approved by committees empaneled by AEM, and they represent best practices for the industry. The safety materials include more than 55 unique manual titles, and they extend to additional collateral such as videos, brochures, decals, and training kits.
In many cases, the manual is often assigned a part number in a manufacturer’s production process to ensure it is included with other safety literature when the equipment is sold into market.
“This integration with the manufacturing process helps AEM member companies by reinforcing their already existing risk management programs,” added Basten.
