OSHA does not have a standard specific to automotive lifts. However, OSHA does use the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act) to enforce automotive lift safety, usually referencing an industry standard, such as ANSI/ALI ALOIM and/or ANSI B153.1, and/or the manufacturer’s guidelines and specifications. The following is from a General Duty Clause citation:
“Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to crushing and/or struck-by hazards:
(a) Service bay area, Bay 1, for employees utilizing the two-post automotive lift with exposure to potential crushing and/or struck-by hazards where the lateral arm restraint mechanisms were held open with ring clamps and were non-functioning. Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to follow the requirements of ANSI/ALI ALOIM and/or ANSI B153.1.”
