Please give me some words of wisdom and tell me that this is nonsense and cranes are safe up to 35mph or 56kmh? Please reply to my email with any excerts from international standards that may help me persuade my Saudi colleagues that cranes are safe to operate up to 56kmph??

What kind of crane do you have in your worksite? While OSHA does not mention specific measurements for wind velocity that are safe for crane operations, it does have some standards related to it. It requires employers to equip cranes outside enclosed structures with a wind gauge or anemometer. The wind gauge must have a visible and audible signal to warn the operator of high wind conditions. The placement of the wind gauge depends on the type of crane you have. In general, OSHA regulates that operators not exceed the crane manufacturer's recommended wind speed. This rating, along with the crane's manuals, must be placed inside the cab of the crane. This way, the operator will be reminded of the rating and they can immediately shut down the crane in high wind conditions. While a lot of manuals out there say that you must never operate equipment at or above 40mph, some crane operators are instructed to shut down their cranes between 30-35 mph. winds. hi, Bill.

Are OSHA MSHA regs on this? What determines wind velocity when to stop working with a crane. Are OSHA MSHA regs on this?
