OSHA Signs Agreement to Protect Crane Operators

(Washington, D.C.) – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration signed an agreement with the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators and the NCCCO Foundation to protect workers who operate cranes better.

The two-year agreement will provide certified crane operators with training and resources to reduce and prevent exposure to the four construction workplace issues that contribute to the majority of hazards in the industry: falls, caught-in or between objects or machinery, struck-by objects or equipment, and electrocution.
