State Board of Crane Operators

The State Board of Crane Operators regulates the practice, licensure and registration of crane operators in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in order to safeguard life, health and property.

The Pennsylvania State Board of Crane Operators is responsible for regulating the operation of cranes through licensure, registration, certification and discipline of those engaged in the practice of crane operation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Board regulates crane operators and registers trainees, as well as the discipline of the unlicensed practice of the profession.  Under this authority, it is the role of the Board to determine on a case-by-case basis whether a crane operator under its jurisdiction engaged in immoral or unprofessional conduct by departing from, or failing to conform to, an ethical or quality standard of the profession. All Pennsylvania licensees are reminded to review the requirements of professional licensure as set forth in the Practice Act and Board Regulations to provide services that are consistent with the standards of acceptable and prevailing practice.
