Applicants for a Massachusetts Hoisting Engineer License must be at least 18 years old, complete the required application, and successfully pass the state examination administered by the Office of Public Safety and Inspections (OPSI). A minimum score of 70% is required to pass. The examination covers the working components of hoisting machinery, safe operating practices, hand signals, and inspection procedures. Massachusetts hoisting licenses must be renewed every two years.
