It's official: OSHA publishes cranes and derricks regulation
OSHA's long-awaited final rule on cranes and derricks was formally published in the Federal Register Monday.
In the works for a decade and informally released by the agency two weeks ago, the regulation is scheduled to go into effect Nov. 8. New requirements include crane operator certification and pre-erection inspections.
In related news, the Fairfax, VA-based nonprofit organization National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators recently published a guide on the personnel qualification requirements in the new rule.
