Crane Users Work Toward OSHA Subpart CC Compliance

摘要

Aimed at preserving life and limb for those who use lifting equipment, OSHA's new Final Rule governing the use of "Cranes and Derricks in Construction," as you most likely know, was released late last year. If you use lifting equipment, your copy of the new rule is probably dog-eared by now, so if you need another copy, or if you haven't yet read it (we won't tell-this time), you can download it at the following site: www.osha.gov/FedReg_osha_ pdf/FED20100809.pdf. The actual rule, Subpart CC of 29 CFR Part 1926, begins on page 48135 of the Federal Register document, but skimming the 200 or so pages of preamble is interesting if you have some time. The 40-plus pages of regulations (1926.1400 through 1926.1442) replace the dozen or so pages of the former rule (1926.550) published in 1971.
