What's New

New Crane Safety Law

In 2007 Washington State Legislature passed a new Crane Safety Legislation that mandates new licensing requirements for both Crane Certification and and Crane Operators in the State of Washington.

Labor and Industries has gone through the process to draft the rules that will implement the law. The AGC participated heavily in this process with input on experience requirements etc.

The new law will go into affect on January 1, 2010 stating that construction cranes, including boom trucks, will need to be certified and all crane operators will need to be licensed through a process that requires both documented operating hours of experience and the NCCCO Written and Practical Certifications.

Even though it seems like you have a lot of time to prepare we strongly advise you to start documenting crane operator hours NOW and preparing your operators with the proper training and NCCCO Certifications that will be required. The documentation of hours will take time to acquire and must be documented by the employer. Preparation of crane certification should also be started now to be sure your cranes are in compliance when the new law goes into affect. The AGC is proud to offer this training/testing to our members. Please contact Danette Larson at 509-535-0391 or dlarson@nwagc.org for more information. You can also visit this ling to the L&I website regarding this rule and the details.
