Mobile Crane Inspector & Certification
Crane Institute of America
Our flagship program provides everything that is required for companies to perform inspections on their cranes in-house and independent third-party inspectors, both needing to meet OSHA and ASME Inspector qualification requirements. The goal is to educate and prepare inspectors of mobile cranes on how to reduce the potential for accidents, liability exposure, and OSHA citations.
