Inspections
Yes. California employers are required to ensure that cranes and derricks are inspected at specified intervals and under certain circumstances.
The exact requirements depend on factors such as:
- The type of crane or derrick
- The crane’s rated capacity
- How frequently the equipment is used
- Whether it has recently been assembled, altered, repaired, or relocated
- Whether the crane has been subjected to unusual conditions
- Whether the equipment is a tower crane or another specially regulated type of crane
