WHO NEEDS TRAINING?

The New Maryland Law

Title 09
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, LICENSING, AND REGULATION
Subtitle 12 DIVISION OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY
09.12.26 Crane Safety
Authority: Labor and Employment Article, §§2-106(b) (4) and 5-312,
Annotated Code of Maryland

The law states that training is required for all cranes and crane operators, signal persons, riggers, and crane operator trainees, and to the erection, operation, and dismantling of cranes used in construction and demolition.

This means you need this training if you fall into any of the categories below:

"Level I rigger" which is an individual who works under the supervision of a competent person and on a routine basis performs rigging work engaged in lifting loads, other than rigging for special lifts, and the erection, dismantling, jumping, or reconfiguring of cranes.

"Level II rigger" which is an individual who has accumulated 2 or more years of experience working as a level I rigger and performs rigging work engaged in lifting loads for special lifts, or the erection, dismantling, jumping, or reconfiguring of cranes, or all of these.

"Master/lead rigger" which is an individual who has accumulated 5 or more years of experience rigging loads and is authorized by the employer to take prompt corrective action to eliminate hazards.

"Rigger" which is an individual who is engaged in the process of lifting, moving, and rigging loads with hardware and equipment used to attach a load to a crane

"Signal person" which is an individual who communicates guidance and direction to a crane operator in lifting, hoisting, moving, or releasing a load.

If you are an employee that is involved with any of the following:

"Rigging" which means the hardware, equipment, and means used to safely attach a load to a crane by means of adequately rated and properly applied slings or other devices

"Special lift" which means a lift using multiple cranes or the erection, dismantling, or jumping of a tower crane.

"Tower crane" which means a power-operated hoisting machine in which a boom, swing jib, or structural member is mounted upon a vertical mast or tower structure with the function of hoisting, lowering, and swinging loads at various radii.
