Downstate Crane Requirements

Two rulebooks

Construction cranes require accredited certification under OSHA Subpart CC. In-plant overhead cranes follow general-industry rules with mandatory training and evaluation.

Federal OSHA

Private Milford worksites are inspected by federal OSHA; Delaware has no crane license of its own.

Storm restoration

After coastal storms, utility and contractor crews work fast β€” but certification and power-line rules still apply.

Confirm the rules for your equipment with OSHA and your certifier.
