INDUSTRY REPORTS

New Compliance Directive for Cranes and Derricks

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has released a new compliance directive CPL 02-01-063 for cranes and derricks. This directive replaces the 2014 compliance directive CPL 02-01-057 and addresses the changes in the crane rule that OSHA made in 2018. The new compliance directive only revises the existing section on operator training, certification, and evaluation and leaves the other sections of the 2014 directive unchanged. While the document is intended for OSHA inspectors, it is also useful to assist business owners and managers in being proactive to prevent citations.
