OSHA 29 CFR 1910.179(b)(8) allows only designated personnel to operate an overhead or gantry crane, and ASME B30.2 describes how an operator is trained, tested and qualified. Neither publishes a form. This record shows who was designated, on which crane and controls, after what training and evaluation, and by whom.

1910.179(b)(8) says only designated personnel may operate the crane, and "designated" means selected or assigned by the employer as competent to do it. OSHA does not prescribe a record, but without one you cannot show who was designated or on what basis. ASME B30.2, the consensus standard OSHA cites, adds training, testing and a practical demonstration before qualification.
Operator name, the crane type and control type (pendant, radio remote or cab), the training date and provider, the practical evaluation date and the designated person who observed it, the result, and the employer’s sign-off. This tool covers those.
OSHA 1910.179 sets no interval. Most programs follow the 3-year practice used for other equipment and re-evaluate sooner after an incident, unsafe operation, or a change of crane or control type. Shield issues overhead crane certificates for 3 years.
No. Mobile and tower cranes in construction fall under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, which requires operator certification by an accredited body. This record is for overhead and gantry cranes under 1910.179.
