More about your state crane safety regulations
It’s important to know the rules and regulations for operators of cranes and other heavy equipment for industry in your state. If you live in a state that has its own requirements beyond the federally mandated OSHA standards, it will be important for you to get additional licensing, continuing education hours, etc as needed so that you remain in compliance with all relevant regulations. Massachusetts, for example, has its own state-specific exams for obtaining and maintaining one’s crane operator license. Each type of equipment has its own distinct license.
