Crane and Derricks in Construction regulations fully incorporated into this edition. The final OSHA crane and derricks regulations have been fully incorporated into the respective standards in this edition. Designed to protect employees from construction hazards associated with the use of crane and derrick hoisting equipment, the final rules address the key hazards associated with cranes and derricks on construction worksites, including collapse and overturn, and the four main causes of worker death and injury: electrocution, crushing by parts of the equipment, being struck-by the equipment/load, and falls. The rules also set requirements for ground conditions and crane operator assessment. OSHA published the final regulations in the Federal Register on August 9, 2010, at 75 FR 47905, with a November 8, 2010, effective date.
