OSHA 2025 Safety Training: What to Know Now

OSHA’s 2025 safety training and competency standards strengthen the qualifications required for all workers who operate, inspect, or assist with cranes and rigging equipment. These updates ensure that training is documented, consistent, and competency-based.

For Arizona contractors, OSHA 2025 safety training compliance is essential for preventing incidents and protecting workers. D&O Crane provides certified instruction that meets every OSHA and MSHA requirement for operator, rigger, and signalperson roles.


Training Program Requirements

OSHA 2025 emphasizes that all safety training must include clear objectives, qualified instructors, and measurable performance evaluations. Employers must confirm that each worker can demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed for their assigned tasks.

D&O Crane’s training programs combine classroom education, field demonstrations, and written evaluations to verify full understanding of OSHA 1926 Subpart CC.

Competency and Evaluation

Employers must evaluate employee competency regularly and document each assessment. Workers who change job duties or operate new equipment must complete updated training before resuming work.

D&O Crane maintains a digital record for every participant, ensuring easy access to certifications and refresher schedules.

See OSHA Competent Person Guidance for more details.


Refresher and Continuing Education

OSHA requires refresher training whenever new hazards are introduced, after an incident, or when employees fail to follow established safety procedures.

D&O Crane integrates refresher sessions into ongoing safety meetings and annual reviews. This approach keeps crews current with OSHA and NCCCO standards.


Training Documentation

Employers must retain records showing completion dates, instructor credentials, and evaluation results. OSHA inspectors may request this documentation during compliance audits.

D&O Crane’s digital tracking system simplifies training record management, ensuring contractors remain ready for verification at any time.


Promoting a Culture of Competence

Strong training programs build confidence, reduce risk, and create a unified safety culture. When every worker understands the standards, projects run smoother and safer.

D&O Crane reinforces this mindset through continuous education, supervision, and open communication.
