The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has scheduled a third stakeholder meeting to discuss the crane operator certification requirements in the Cranes and Derricks in Construction standard. The third meeting will be held April 3, from 1:30-4:30p.m., and will focus on the effectiveness of crane operator certification.
OSHA seeks the publics’ opinion on 1) the usefulness of certifying operators for different capacities of cranes, and 2) the risks of allowing an operator to operate all capacities of cranes within a specific type.
All meetings will be held at the U.S. Department of Labor. Individuals interested in participating in, or observing, the stakeholder meeting must pre-register by calling OSHA’s Directorate of Construction at 202-693-2020. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
