The International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) has requested OSHA amend the "Capacity and Type" language in 1926.1427(b)(1)(ii)(B) and 1926.1427(b)(1). These provisions require different levels of certification based on capacity and type of equipment and deems the operator qualified to operate for which they are certified or for higher-capacity equipment of that type.
