OSHA Proposed to Remove Rated Lifting Capacities

OSHA Proposed to Remove Rated Lifting Capacities

The proposed changes to OSHA's crane operator qualification rules were published today in a 36-page portion of the Federal Register.

Issued as a final standard on August 9, 2010, the rule required operators to be certified in one of four ways:

• A state or local license to operate a crane within a state or local jurisdiction with acceptable requirements
• A certification issued by an accredited, third-party testing organization
• A qualification issued under an audited employer program
• A qualification issued by the U.S. Military
