Technical description: Offshore crane operations in U.S. waters must comply with OSHA and USCG regulations to ensure safety and legal conformity. OSHA 29 CFR standards define requirements for crane operation, inspection, and personnel competency, while USCG rules address marine lifting appliances and shipboard equipment. Compliance involves maintaining thorough documentation, including permits-to-work, lift plans, and inspection records, as well as adhering to strict maintenance and certification schedules. Failure to meet these standards can result in penalties, operational delays, and increased risk of incidents.
