• ANSI/ASME B30.2 – Overhead and Gantry Cranes (Top Running Bridge, Single or Multiple Girder, Top Running Trolley Hoist)

Training Language and Comprehension

OSHA requires that overhead crane training be provided in a language and vocabulary that employees can understand. This means employers must ensure that employees fully comprehend the training content.

If you’re training Spanish-speaking operators, you need to provide them with Spanish crane training. Providing English-language training to workers who don’t speak English does not meet OSHA’s requirements.

This bilingual overhead crane training package specifically helps you meet this requirement to ensure OSHA compliance for both English and Spanish operators.
