Accredited certification (often NCCCO) plus West Virginia's state crane operator certification from the Division of Labor.
Federal OSHA inspects private worksites in Huntington and applies Subpart CC directly.
Crews crossing into Ohio or Kentucky follow those states' rules on those jobs. Check before mobilizing.
