These Practical Examinations were developed by NCCCO task forces made up of experts from all aspects of the crane industry—crane operators, training directors, managers, supervisors, manufacturers—who together represent many thousands of hours of crane experience. These volunteers gave freely of their time and expertise with the goal of improving the safety of all whose work brings them into contact with cranes and lifting equipment. NCCCO used its exam development expertise to guide its task forces in establishing key elements of the program, including identifying essential skills, selecting tasks, standardizing test conditions, developing the scoring process, establishing reliability among tests, and creating flexible application and scheduling procedures. In concert with its task forces, NCCCO also designed the Practical Examiner Accreditation Programs whereby NCCCO trains and accredits CCO–certified crane operators to administer CCO Practical Examinations.  \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 organization such as NCCCO or qualified through an audited employer program. Section 1926.1427 of the new rule describes crane operator certification/ qualification requirements. Option 1, which is anticipated to be the most commonly used, requires operators to be certified by a nationally accredited crane operator testing organization that tests operators through written and practical testing. Obtaining CCO certification from NCCCO meets all the requirements set forth by the new OSHA rule.  \nThis handbook has been developed to provide you, the Practical Examination Test Site Coordinator, with all the information you need to prepare for successful CCO Practical Examinations. As the Practical Exam Test Site Coordinator, you play a critical role in the smooth administration of CCO exams on test day. It is vitally important that you study this entire handbook carefully before making any preparations for a practical test administration.
