Fair OSHA Crane Operator Requirements for over 70,000 Operators

Since 2010, SC&RA fought to change OSHA’s language regarding crane operator qualifications because of unnecessary, burdensome requirements which did not provide any additional safety factors to job sites. Had the original language been implemented, over 70,000 cranes would have faced the possibility of invalid certifications. The culmination of SC&RA’s efforts was achieved, resulting in revised, concise requirements for employer evaluations and crane operator certification with which industry can comply.
