C – ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
These inspections must be performed annually.
A complete inspection of the aerial platform must be performed by a qualified operator. The
inspection must comply with the requirements of points A and B and must include, but not

D – STRUCTURAL INSPECTION
A structural inspection is required to verify the structural soundness of critical components
of the aerial platform and must be performed:
1.
10 years after the date of manufacture and every 5 years thereafter.
2. after every accident that may actually, presumably, or potentially cause damage and
affect the structural soundness or stability of the aerial platform. Such accidents include
short circuits, impacts, falls, collisions, or cases of overstress or stability failure.
3. After a change of ownership, unless a complete service history is provided, including
