How long crew cards last
| Card | Good for | Whose rule |
|---|---|---|
| OSHA 10 | 5 years | Federal cards don't expire; many GCs and some states want one from the last 5 years |
| OSHA 30 | 5 years | Federal cards don't expire; many GCs and some states want one from the last 5 years |
| Forklift | 3 years | Operator evaluation at least every 3 years (29 CFR 1910.178(l)(4)(iii)) |
| MSHA Part 46 | 1 year | 8-hour annual refresher every 12 months (30 CFR 46.8) |
| MSHA Part 48 | 1 year | 8-hour annual refresher every 12 months (30 CFR 48.28) |
| First aid / CPR | 2 years | Most first aid and CPR cards are good for 2 years |
| NCCCO crane | 5 years | NCCCO operator certification lasts 5 years |
| Flagger | 4 years | ATSSA flagger cards last 4 years; some states differ |
| DOT medical card | 2 years | A DOT medical certificate lasts up to 24 months |
The point of tracking isn't the card. It's not finding out on the day the inspector shows up, or the day the GC won't let an operator on the machine. A list with dates, and a warning 30 days out, is enough for most crews.
Who needs what on a construction site
- OSHA 10: the basic card for workers. Some states (New York, Nevada, and others for public work) require it by law; many GCs require it everywhere.
- OSHA 30: for foremen and supers.
- Forklift and telehandler: trained and evaluated on that type of truck, and re-evaluated every 3 years.
- Crane operators: certified under 29 CFR 1926.1427, usually by NCCCO.
- Mines and pits: MSHA Part 46 or 48 training, with an 8-hour refresher every year.

Questions crews ask
Do OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 cards expire?
Federal OSHA's cards don't expire. But some states, cities, unions and GCs want one from the last 5 years (Nevada, for example), so many companies track a 5-year date anyway.
How often does forklift certification need renewing?
OSHA requires an evaluation of each operator at least every 3 years, and refresher training after an accident, a near miss or a bad evaluation (29 CFR 1910.178(l), which 1926.602(d) applies to construction).
How often is MSHA refresher training?
Every 12 months: 8 hours of annual refresher under Part 46 (sand, gravel, stone) or Part 48 (other mines).
Is the crew card tracker free?
Yes, and crew never pay in Dozer. The tracker on this page keeps the cards in your browser. In the app, the list lives with the site and warns you before a card runs out.
