You need a state issued license to operate a crane in MA. We recommend you apply online for the hoisting engineer exams for faster processing. PLEASE BE ADVISED: MA will no longer be sending you a card as of August 1, 2023 – instead it will be in the same system as the test application and renewal process.

Cranes101 offers MA-specific and nationally accredited crane licensing, which is required for operators. If your operators need licensing, please contact us to set up a class for them at your site, on your equipment.
The Crane Rule update also requires that your operators, in addition to a license, be qualified on the equipment they run on the job-site. Cranes101 can perform those qualifications on-site.

This page is where we post news articles of interest to heavy equipment operators in the state of Massachusetts as we see them. Some of these articles will be accident or citation reports , while others may be new initiatives by OSHA that are happening specifically in Massachusetts.

While all states must follow federal guidelines when it comes to operating cranes, forklifts, excavators, and other heavy equipment, state regulations can and do change. When we find out about any of those changes, we will post them here, was well as sending updates directly to our newsletter subscribers.





 

OSHA requires operators of heavy equipment and signal person/riggers to have certification in the safety standards, no matter where you work in the US. Get your online safety certification for bucket truck, forklifts, overhead cranes, MEWP, and signal person rigger here.
