New England Tree Companies – Take Note!
OSHA has a new REP directive affecting tree and landscaping companies in New England, which began August 4, 2021. If you are using cranes or aerial lifts to do your treework. this directive affects you, as OSHA inspectors who drive by and see you at work are compelled to stop and do an inspection. This Regional Emphasis Program will be in effect for 5 years, until August 4, 2026.
How can Cranes101 help you be prepared in the event of an impromptu OSHA inspection?
You’ll want your crane operators licensed and qualified, per Subpart CC; your aerial lift operators to have documented safety training; and your equipment to be up-to-date on comprehensive inspections. We can help you with all of these to keep you OSHA compliant. If you are TCIA or ISA members, our training comes with a discount and CEUs, so let us know to get you the best price.
