CIC crane operator certifications not accepted going forward
Crane operators take note: OSHA will not accept crane operator certifications or re-certifications issued by Crane Institute Certification (CIC) after December 2 because CIC is not compliant with OSHA’s operator certification requirement, according to a temporary enforcement policy announced this week by the agency.
The move comes in response to the CIC informing OSHA that it is not currently accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency – something required in the Cranes and Derricks in Construction rule.
