CFR 178 - Cranes and Derricks

On August 9, 2010, OSHA issued this final rule to revise the Cranes and Derricks Standard (Subpart CC) and related sections of the Construction Standard to update and specify industry work practices necessary to protect employees during the use of cranes and derricks in construction. This final standard also addresses advances in the designs of cranes and derricks, related hazards, and the qualifications of employees needed to operate them safely. The N. C. Commissioner of Labor adopted this final rule verbatim with an effective date of November 8, 2010.
