The Occupational Safety and Heath Administration published the final version of its new crane rule on Nov. 9, which covers training and certification for crane operators. The rule is a revision of a draft version published in May 2018, and it removes the need to certify operators by crane capacity rather than just type of crane.
The changes, which apply to OSHA’s 29 CFR 1926 subpart CC section regarding crane and derricks in construction, will take effect on Dec. 9.
