Articles: Voices from the Past

Understanding the past helps us understand the present. “Voices from the Past” give us insight into how we got where we are today.

Crane operator responsibility and crane operator certification are issues OSHA has recently addressed. James Headley’s three-part series “In Defense Of The Operator” speaks to those issues in the 1980s before there was much written on the topic. And his article “Certification Needed More Than Ever” was written before there were any national crane operator certification programs. Our industry has come a long way!
