To provide assistance in complying with its new cranes and derricks regulation, OSHA has posted two fact sheets to its website.
The Qualified Rigger fact sheet is a guide for determining if a worker is qualified to properly rig the load for a particular job, and the Signal Person fact sheet explains the proper qualifications for a worker whose job is to direct a crane operator.
OSHA's Cranes and Derricks in Construction Final Rule page contains the complete text of the rule, additional fact sheets, a PowerPoint presentation, an archived Web chat and answers to frequently asked questions.
