OSHA proposes new regulations for cranes and derricks

OSHA has issued proposed regulations to protect employees from the construction hazards associated with the use of crane and derrick hoisting equipment. The proposed regulations would require that employers: (1) determine whether the ground is sufficient to support the anticipated weight of the hoisting equipment and its associated loads; (2) assess hazards within the work zone that would affect the safe operation of hoisting equipment (such as those of power lines and objects or personnel that would be within the work zone or swing radius of the hoisting equipment); and (3) ensure that equipment is in safe operating condition by performing required inspections and by training employees to recognize hazards associated with the use of the equipment and any related duties that they are assigned to perform. Notice of the proposed regulations were published in the Federal Register, 73 FR 59713, on October 9, 2008.
