Atlanta's Crane Requirements
Accredited certification
Operators of covered construction cranes need accredited certification under OSHA; NCCCO is the name Atlanta GCs use most.
Federal enforcement
Federal OSHA inspects private construction in the metro. Georgia has no state crane license.
Airspace near the airport
Cranes near the airport may need FAA notice and lighting. Your contractor handles filings — just know the restrictions.
Verify current requirements with OSHA, the FAA where relevant, and your certifier.
