Final Rule on Crane Operator Certification Takes Effect Dec. 9
 
OSHA has published the final rule clarifying certification requirements for crane operators, which becomes effective on December 9, 2018. Operators can be certified either by type of crane and capacity of crane, or by type of crane only. This revision of a 2010 requirement, which was effective Nov. 10, 2018, ensures more accredited testing organizations are eligible to meet OSHA’s certification program requirements. More
 
Increased Training Requirements for Users of Scissor and Boom Lifts 
 
According to the Center for Construction Research and Training, also known as CPWR, about 26 workers die every year using aerial lifts, reports Safety+Health . The main causes of these accidents are electrocution, falls and tip-overs or getting stuck between the bucket, or guardrail and an object. Meanwhile, ANSI A92.20 from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  and CSA B354.6 from the CSA Group , formerly Canadian Standards Association, are working to raise the standard of training for using aerial lifts. According to a report by Rental Management , the new standards will make rental stores train and prepare their customer service staff on how to help customers select the appropriate machine needed for a job. This includes being able to fully train customers on how to properly use the equipment if it is requested. More
