I will preface this by saying I work for Pro-Tech.

I am not trying to advertise against board rules, but I will say the Pro-Tech Work Box meets ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005, Section 8.24

Section 8.24 explains the requirements for using a work platform on a telehandler. A lot of guys say OSHA doesn't approve using a work platform on a Telehandler. That is absolutely false! There is a whole standard written which governs such use. OSHA will have no problem with a work platform on a telehandler provided it meets ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005, Section 8.24.

The other thing you need to make sure is that your operator is familiar with and follows B56.6, Section 5.15, "Elevating Personnel".
