How this site is written
How we research, source and correct these pages
Crane work is safety work, so the information on this site has to be right. This page explains where our facts come from, what we refuse to publish, how often pages get reviewed, and what happens when something turns out to be wrong.
Where the facts come from
Regulatory statements are checked against the primary text: the federal crane and derrick standard at 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, OSHA's own pages and interpretation letters, and the published policies of the certifying bodies. Exam details such as program names, recertification timing and the rules for practical exams are checked against NCCCO's published materials.
Local pages lean on public sources: city and county economic development offices, the Encyclopedia of Alabama, state agencies such as ALDOT, the Alabama Port Authority, utilities, federal agencies and established news outlets. Every county, city, course and guide page lists the sources behind it at the bottom of the page.
What we leave out on purpose
- Any fact we could not confirm from a source we trust.
- Invented people, quotes, reviews, success stories or student numbers.
- Pass rates, income promises, job guarantees and prices on content pages.
- Test-site addresses and exam dates, which change too often to publish responsibly.
- Any suggestion that online study replaces the hands-on practical exam or an employer's evaluation.
Review dates and corrections
Each page shows the date it was last reviewed. Pages that cite construction schedules, plant openings or other dated events get rechecked first, because those change fastest. Regulatory content is reviewed whenever OSHA or a certifying body changes a rule.
If you spot something out of date or wrong, tell us through the enrollment form and mention the page. We check the claim against a primary source, then fix or remove it and update the review date.
Who we are and aren't
Alabama Online Crane School is an exam-preparation service. We are not a certifying body, a government agency or a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. For a ruling on a specific job, the authorities are federal OSHA, your employer's qualified persons and the certifying body itself. Read more about the school or start with the Alabama requirements guide.
