ANSI/ASSP A10.31, Safety Requirements, Definitions and Specifications for Digger Derricks, offers guidance to those involved in the design, manufacture, sale, lease, use and operation of digger derricks about how to ensure that the equipment is designed and manufactured properly, and that everyone understands their responsibilities for its safe use.
