Certified Safety Experts expands crane inspections across North Carolina

Certified Safety Experts is rolling out OSHA-compliant crane inspections statewide for construction and industrial sites in North Carolina. The Cary-based firm is pairing those services with NCCCO-affiliated training as demand for jobsite safety and compliance support grows.

Why it matters: - Crane inspections are a core OSHA safety requirement and a key step in preventing equipment failures and jobsite accidents. - North Carolina contractors now have a statewide option for inspections, training, and compliance support from one provider. - The service expansion is aimed at construction and industrial sites that need to keep equipment in service and crews working safely.

What happened: - Certified Safety Experts said it now offers OSHA-compliant crane inspection services across North Carolina. - The Cary-based company serves construction and industrial clients statewide, including Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville, and Wilmington. - Marty Shuman, owner of Certified Safety Experts, said crane inspections help keep crews safe and projects on schedule.

The details: - The inspection program covers annual inspections, routine inspections, pre-use checks, post-incident evaluations, and compliance audits. - Inspectors evaluate cranes for mechanical and structural integrity. - The checks include wire ropes, hooks, load indicators, brakes, and structural elements for misalignment, wear, or deformation. - Certified Safety Experts also inspects rigging and lifting gear, heavy equipment, forklifts, and aerial lifts. - The company says that package gives contractors a single provider for jobsite equipment safety. - Certified Safety Experts is affiliated with the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). - The company offers preparatory training and exams for crane operators, riggers, signal persons, lift directors, and crane inspectors. - Its certification and training programs cover mobile cranes, tower cranes, articulating boom cranes, aerial lifts, and forklifts. - The company offers on-site and individual training options. - Beyond crane services, Certified Safety Experts provides management assist visits and audits, accident investigations, expert witness testimony, and safety staffing. - Those services are intended to help employers meet or exceed OSHA requirements.

Between the lines: - The expansion points to steady demand for outside safety vendors that can handle both inspection work and operator certification. - Bundling inspections with training and compliance services can reduce the number of third parties contractors need to manage. - The statewide footprint suggests Certified Safety Experts is positioning itself as a broader safety partner, not just a crane inspection shop.

What's next: - Businesses and individuals in North Carolina can request a quote for crane inspections or certification options through the company’s inspection page or by calling (919) 373-6769. - Certified Safety Experts said it will continue serving clients across North Carolina and nationwide. - The company’s broader service mix suggests future demand may center on bundled compliance, training, and staffing support.

The bottom line: - Certified Safety Experts is expanding beyond its Cary base to meet North Carolina demand for OSHA-compliant crane inspections and NCCCO-affiliated training.
