Steps
Pull current text of 29 CFR 1926.1412 from osha.gov/ecfr.gov (construction cranes, Subpart CC)
Classify the engagement: pre-shift visual (competent person, no written report unless deficiency found), monthly documented inspection, or annual/comprehensive inspection by a qualified person
Note the annual/comprehensive inspection may require disassembly of components, NDT of critical welds, and load testing where the qualified person determines it is warranted
Confirm the annual inspection deadline runs from the anniversary of the prior annual inspection, per OSHA's 2015 standard interpretation letter
Match the inspecting individual's qualifications to the category (competent person for shift, qualified person for annual)
Known gotchas
1926.1412 applies to construction cranes under Subpart CC; general-industry overhead cranes are instead governed by 29 CFR 1910.179 — do not conflate the two frequency schemes
Standard interpretation letters (e.g. OSHA's 2015-09-10 letter) refine 'at least every 12 months' language and are not part of the CFR text itself; cite them separately from the regulation
