Certification Guides
Boise and the Federal Crane Rule
Construction cranes need certification
OSHA 1926.1427 means a Boise operator on a covered construction crane needs an accredited certification matched to that crane's type and capacity.
OSHA's area office covers Idaho
Without a private-sector State Plan in Idaho, Boise jobsites and complaints go to federal OSHA inspectors.
Shop cranes follow other rules
Treasure Valley factory overhead and gantry cranes come under general industry standard 29 CFR 1910.179, which asks for trained operators instead of a particular card.
Before you book a Boise exam, verify the current rules with OSHA and your certifier.

Downtown high-rise work
Downtown mixed-use towers and parking decks squeeze tower cranes and big mobiles onto cramped city blocks.
Advanced manufacturing
Semiconductor and electronics plants rely on careful rigging for sensitive equipment and on overhead cranes in maintenance bays.
Warehouses along I-84
Distribution and logistics buildings use bridge cranes and forklifts. Our logistics team training covers both.
