OSHA Unveils Small Business Cranes/Derricks Guide

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued its Small Entity Compliance Guide to help small business conform with its recently published Cranes and Derricks in Construction rule. OSHA published the rule in August 2010 to replace the last rule update, which occurred in 1971.

The guide is divided into chapters that correspond to regulation sections, and accompanies other OSHA compliance materials that relate to cranes. It includes a PowerPoint overview, answers to frequently asked questions and a fact sheet.
