Construction

Construction crane operations run under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, the primary federal standard for cranes and derricks in construction. Every operator must hold a certification from an ANSI-accredited organization (typically NCCCO) with an endorsement specific to the equipment type being operated. A lattice boom truck endorsement does not cover a telescoping boom truck. OSHA's 1926.1427 regulation puts the verification burden on the employer: you must confirm operator certification status before dispatch, not after an incident. CraneOp enforces NCCCO certification gating at the dispatch layer. When a dispatcher assigns an operator to a job, the system checks the operator's active endorsements against the crane type on the job. If the endorsement does not match or the cert is expired, the assignment is blocked at the server layer. Not flagged and allowed through. Blocked. Pre-shift inspections under 1926.1412(d) must be documented for each shift. CraneOp's compliance module captures the checklist, timestamps the record, and stores it in the tenant's audit log. When an OSHA inspector asks for pre-shift inspection records for the past 90 days, you open the compliance dashboard and export the full log in minutes. Critical lifts, defined as any lift exceeding 75% of rated capacity or any multi-crane lift, require a written critical lift plan under 1926.1432. CraneOp's lift plan module generates a lift plan with deterministic capacity math computed directly from the crane's load chart data. The software does the math. The lift director reviews and approves it. AI does not produce capacity numbers in this system. Construction crane companies typically invoice GCs. Field tickets go from operator to GC for signature in real time, then convert to invoices automatically. CraneOp's field ticket to invoice workflow eliminates the manual re-entry step that causes billing errors and delays. The GC signs the ticket in the field. The invoice generates within seconds.
