AGC today released the Request for Proposal  to revise AGC’s Professional Crane Operator Safety Training Program materials. The updated program will provide quality training for construction professionals in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Cranes and Derricks in Construction Final Rule published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2010.  The training program is designed to offer a resource to contractors interested in providing high-quality safety training to crane operators and improve safety on jobsites where cranes are in operation.
