Industry Reports
What to Expect from OSHA in 2020 
During 2019, OSHA conducted 33,401 inspections—more inspections than the previous three years, and employers should expect that trend to continue. In order for employers to be prepared for what is ahead, it is good practice to be familiar with the Agency’s   Fall 2019 Regulatory Agenda.

Among the standards applicable to steel erectors are lockout/tagout and welding and cutting standards. Additionally, in May, OSHA plans to amend parts of the cranes and derricks in construction standard. More .
Recent Safety Notices
Several product and OSHA enforcement safety notices relevant to steel erection contractors were announced recently. Topics were related to fall protection, rigging hardware and crane operator certification. More .  
Online Crane Operator Certification Directory Launched  
NCCCO Foundation has released a new web-based tool to help employers navigate OSHA’s rules on crane operator qualifications.  Who’s Accredited? Directory ,  is designed to take the guesswork out of determining whether or not a certification organization’s programs are accredited.  

It provides a direct link to the accredited certification maintained by the two bodies that OSHA recognizes- ANSI and NCCA.  More .
