Crane Inspection Record Retention: Federal, State & Best Practice Requirements

Thursday, January 15, 2026 1:00 PM ET · 35 min

About This Webinar

Record retention is one of the most misunderstood aspects of crane inspection compliance. While OSHA sets minimum federal requirements, many states have additional mandates, and best practices often exceed both. This on-demand webinar walks through the complete record retention landscape — from federal requirements under 29 CFR 1926.1412 to state-specific rules in the top 15 crane-heavy states. We cover acceptable formats (paper vs. digital), how long to keep different types of inspection records, and how digital record management systems eliminate the risk of lost or damaged documentation. Includes a downloadable retention schedule template.
