Accredited Crane Operator Certification OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, released August 9, 2010, requires crane operators involved in construction to be certified by an accredited certification provider by November 10, 2014.
The new OSHA standards make the completion of this requirement an important topic of knowledge for the crane and lifting industry.
According to the new OSHA regulation, employers are now responsible for ensuring the qualification and certification of any operators on their job site.
A number of organizations have been recognized by OSHA for offering certification in the crane and lifting industry.
These organizations include the not-for-profit organizations National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER),[9] the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), and the Operating Engineers Certification Program (OECP).
