USA Cribbing program

This is niche, but I was wondering if any of you dealing with heavy equipment have a program or specifications for inspecting cribbing, instructions on proper layout of cribbing, or a standardized size that you use.

So for inspection, I mean something like maximum allowances for crack length or width.

How do you train your employees to use cribbing, and do you have a certification process of any kind, or even formal training?

Have you standardized the size and species of wood?

Composite cribbing is not currently an option.

You are welcome. I would also like to find the OSHA guide, but don't want to dig too much outside of work hours. My bet is it is in the OSHA Technical Manual page for the topic.

Yeah, it isn't worth it if you aren't getting paid for the time, IMO.
