Assembly/Disassembly Director
OSHA 1926.1404 A/D Director qualification for crane setup & tear-down
Why A/D Director Matters
OSHA 1926.1404 requires a qualified Assembly/Disassembly Director any time a crane is being set up or torn down. Without one on-site, the job stops before it starts.
Lift Tech preps your lead riggers and superintendents for the qualification, then proctors testing. The course is 1 day, often on-site with the equipment they already run.
