OSHA's Crane Safety Rule Is Finally Out-Now What?

摘要

The most significant safety standard issued in the last two decades, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) new rule regarding the use of cranes and derricks in construction, contains more than 40 separate sections of detailed requirements in areas such as crane assembly, crane operation, inspections, and operator training and certification. Employers have until November 8-just 90 days from publication of the final rule in the Federal Register-to comply with the vast majority of provisions in the new rule, which is more than 1,000 pages long. OSHA estimates compliance will cost the construction industry approximately $155 million per year.
