DOL/OSHA RIN: 1218-AC01 Publication ID: Spring 2003 
Title: Cranes and Derricks 
Abstract: Subpart N addresses hazards associated with various types of hoisting equipment used at construction sites. Such equipment includes cranes and derricks. The existing rule, which dates back to 1971, is based in part on industry consensus standards from 1958, 1968, and 1969. There have been considerable technological changes since those consensus standards were developed. Industry consensus standards for derricks and for crawler, truck and locomotive cranes were updated as recently as 1995. A cross-section of the industry has asked OSHA to update subpart N. OSHA has determined that the existing rule needs to be revised.
