C
onstruction has always been a highly
regulated industry. In a recent survey of
Equipment World readers (see page 60),
72 percent said increased regulations
had caused them to quit doing certain
jobs. Another 72 percent said it had caused them to
increase the number of hours devoted to fulfilling
requirements.
But in the past few years the number and scope of
regulations has increased dramatically. To run a suc-
cessful business, you have to stay abreast of these.
Here is a rundown of the top four new federal regula-
tions and what you need to know about them. (And be
sure to check out our review of the new service truck
crane rules in the June 2013 cover story plus a look at
the latest from the California Air Resources Board in
the November 2013 issue, page 37. Both are available
