OSHA Proposes New Deadline for Crane Certification
OSHA recently announced it is issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to delay the implementation of crane certification. The current rule requires certification of crane operators by November 2014, but this deadline may be extended by the new proposed change to November 2017. ISA is following this closely by staying in constant contact with OSHA and working with other groups to make sure our members’ interests are represented. In the meantime, sign companies are still required to ensure that their crane operators are fully trained. For more information, please contact ISA at [email protected].
