CALIFORNIA
California to Require Crane Operator Certification Effective June 1, 2005, most operators of mobile and tower cranes in California will have to be certified. Certifications may be issued only by a 'certifying entity' whose certification program has been accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The CCO national crane operator certification program has been accredited by NCCA since 1998.
There are over 18 different Cal/OSHA offices(with an additional 3 field offices) and 18 different phone numbers to report unsafe work practices. Unfortunately, we do not have one hotline phone number where you can report unsafe work practices. Here's a link to our offices: Cal/OSHA offices
Complaints and Accidents can be reported at anytime. Each office has an answering service that can take calls after work hours.
