Labor Department Reviews Crane and Derrick Safety Forms
Published Date: 7/2/2026
Notice
Summary
The Department of Labor is asking for public feedback on paperwork rules for derricks—those big cranes used in construction and oil work. They want to make sure the rules about marking loads, inspecting ropes, and posting warnings are clear and not too much work. Comments are open until August 3, 2026, and this helps keep workers safe without costing too much time or money.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Keep and Show Inspection Records
If you run a private-sector business that uses derricks, you must prepare and keep certification records that verify inspections of derrick ropes, and you must disclose those records when asked.
Mark Derricks With Rated Load
If your business uses derricks, the paperwork provisions require marking the rated load on those derricks so the load capacity is shown on the equipment.
Post Warning Signs During Repairs
If a derrick is undergoing adjustments or repairs, your business must post warning signs while the work is happening to inform workers and others nearby.
Estimated Paperwork Time Burden
OSHA estimates this information collection affects 500 private-sector respondents, with 7,750 total responses, 1,336 total annual hours of burden, and $0 in annual other costs under OMB Control Number 1218-0222.
