Crane, Derrick & Hoist Safety
Online Training Certification Course
29 CFR 1910 & 1926
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
This online certification course details the standards, regulations, and requirements associated with the safe use and operation of different types of lifting equipment. Course topics include hazard identification, general safety guidelines, and the types of equipment regulated under OSHA crane safety standards.
Cranes, derricks, and hoists are used throughout the construction industry to move large, heavy loads. These lifting devices are inherently dangerous due to their massive size and the heavy loads they bear. Derrick, crane, and hoist safety training protects device operators and employees in work zones with lifting equipment.
This course is for:
This online crane training course is designed for anyone who works with cranes, including both workers and supervisors. This safety training may help prevent serious injury in the workplace and save lives.
Case Study: The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a branch of the United States Department of Labor. The BLS is a federal agency commissioned with the responsibility of gathering, analyzing, and sharing information that is vital for public and private decision making. The BLS has composed a data sheet of fatal occupational injuries that involve cranes, ranging from 2011 to 2017. This study found that, on average, there were 42 fatalities annually. Of the fatalities in this 7-year analysis:
- 154 resulted from being struck by an object or equipment put into motion by a crane
- 39 resulted from a transportation incident
- 41 resulted from a fall
- 63 have a result of "other"
Key Takeaway: Cranes of all types present life-threatening dangers. Do not underestimate their hazards. This course will help you stay vigilant while working with or around cranes.

Governing Regulations
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, is charged with the enforcement of safety and health conditions of workers through the use of regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. OSHA regulations are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1910 covers general industry regulations, while 1926 is designated for construction industry standards. Subpart N in both sections of the regulations covers this topic.

Employers are responsible for training new personnel before assigning them to tasks that may expose them to hazards such as pieces of equipment used to lift heavy loads.
To ensure compliance with OSHA crane and derrick training, safety training must be conducted in relevant topics whenever there is an indication that retraining is necessary. This crane certification course meets these training requirements.
Each student will receive 0.2 CEUs (or 2 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.
