Where should a license or temporary permit be located during operation of hoisting equipment?

During the operation of hoisting equipment, having the license or temporary permit on the person at all times is critical for several reasons. Firstly, this practice ensures that the operator can readily provide proof of licensure. If any regulatory or safety inspections occur, being able to present the license immediately can demonstrate compliance with legal standards necessary for operating heavy equipment.

Moreover, keeping the license on the person also aligns with best safety practices. It reduces the risk of misplaced or forgotten documents which could hinder operation or inspections. By having the documentation physically with the operator, it reinforces the responsibility that operators must maintain regarding safety regulations and operating equipment correctly.

Being able to quickly show this important certification not only ensures compliance but also reflects the professionalism and preparedness of the operator, ultimately contributing to a safer working environment.
