Bucket trucks provide aerial access for hard to reach locations, but they also cause accidents that result in 26 fatalities per year, according to the Bureau of Labor. Deaths occur from falls after lifts are struck by vehicles, cranes or crane loads, when a lift suddenly jerks or from electrocutions when overhead power lines contact the bucket.

Bucket truck operators must be trained to use them properly and comply with the OSHA standard for aerial lifts (1926.453).
