According to the OSHA Final Rule “1926.1427(c)(3): No cost to employees. Whenever operator certification/licensure is required under this section, the employer must provide the certification/licensure at no cost to employees.” In summary, the employer is responsible. Often crane operators choose to pay for their own certification, which can be seen as a display of initiative and reduces the cost to employers when hiring a new employee.
