Key to this industry-led effort was the development of the CCOWritten and Practical Examinations, initially for mobile crane operators but now also for tower, overhead, and articulating crane operators, digger derrick operators, riggers, signalpersons, crane inspectors, and lift directors. These nationally recognized and internationally accredited certification programs are the culmination of many years’ hard work by experts from the varied industries and groups that use cranes, including construction, steel erection, operating engineers, utilities, crane rental, petrochemicals, pulp and paper, and others.  \nThe NCCCO Mobile Crane Task Force that developed this certification program was made up of experts from all aspects of the crane industry—crane operators, crane users, trainers, safety supervisors, manufacturers—who together represent many thousands of hours of cranerelated experience. These volunteers gave freely of their time and expertise with the primary goal of improving the safety of all whose work brings them into contact with cranes and lifting equipment.  \nUntil recently crane operator certification has been voluntary unless required by local jurisdictions or specific employers. However, in August 2010, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enacted new national standards for cranes and derricks used in construction under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. These new rules require that operators of most cranes above 2,000 lb. capacity when used in construction need to be either certified by an accredited crane operator testing organi","cbCair6ViR5klCOA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair6ViR5klCOA","pdf",1317654,62,"English","# Candidate Handbook Overview\n## CCO Certification Examinations and Program Purpose\n## NCCCO Organization and Impartiality\n## OSHA Construction Requirements and Certification Qualification\n## How CCO Examinations Are Developed and Maintained","[{\"question\":\"What exams are required to earn NCCCO mobile crane operator certification?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook states certification requires the CCO Written and Practical Examinations.\"},{\"question\":\"Does NCCCO provide training or training materials for candidates?\",\"answer\":\"No. NCCCO does not conduct training or provide training materials, and instead focuses on fair, independent assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"How does OSHA relate to crane operator certification?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook explains that OSHA standards under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC require operators to be certified by an accredited testing organization such as NCCCO or qualified through an audited employer program.\"}]","Mobile Crane Operator - Candidate Handbook - NCCCO CCO Certification | PDF",1790717382,156]
