CCO Spanish-language exams provide valuable assistance to employers desiring to ensure their Spanish-speaking operators meet the OSHA 1926 CFR Subpart CC crane operator certification requirement. The OSHA crane rule allows for tests to be administered in any language the operator candidate understands, but it requires the certification card indicate the language the test was given in.
Employers must understand, however, what their obligations are for using certified operators who have tested in Spanish. Employers are required to provide:
- Operator manuals and load charts in Spanish
- Warning labels in Spanish
- Supervision and support personnel who can also communicate in Spanish
