Crane News – Why & How Cranes101 Provides It

Cranes101 provides this News page as a service to our clients. We provides one place to go for updates on national OSHA as well as state regulations. We also share accident reports here, so that you can foresee some of the potential problems that you may encounter if your cranes are not properly operated, maintained, and inspected. Seeing the issues others have had will hopefully help you to avoid them in your own crane operation business. 

Heavy equipment industry conferences and events also feature heavily on our crane news page. We regularly exhibit and present at these to help bring crane safety to the forefront of attendees’ minds. By sharing information in person at these events as well as crane news online here on our website, we are able to further our mission of making your workplace safer. 

Cranes101 is your source for crane news

We aggregate data from OSHA and the Department of Labor, as well as state agencies and independent studies. When there are new regulations or featured programs, you’ll be able to find out about them here. When there is information from OSHA such as the Crane Rule, the OSHA website is the first place to go to find out about it, and the Cranes101 news page is the second place to go for guidance about what your next moves should be so you can stay safe and compliant with the regulations.
Following our RSS feed is one way to stay up to date about crane safety news. Another is to get our crane news updates delivered directly to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletter. Every month, we send a newsletter featuring accident reports with photos, industry news, and information about upcoming crane safety classes and other featured programs.

If you’re ever looking for information or crane news that we have not yet featured here, please feel free to contact us directly. The experts at Cranes101 are always just a phone call or email away, and happy to answer your questions.
