About the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO)
NCCO was formed in January 1995 as a non-profit organization with its mission to develop effective performance standards for safe crane operation to assist all segments of general industry and construction.
By providing thorough, independent assessments of knowledge and skills, CCO aims to enhance lifting equipment safety, reduce workplace risk, improve performance records, stimulate training, and give due recognition to the professionals who work in, with, and around cranes.
NCCCO Foundation Award
Safety is one of the most important issues facing the crane industry. Accidents on the construction site have many costs—death or serious injury, property damage, lost time, and litigation. The inherent hazards involved in lifting operations mean that only qualified professionals should operate cranes and digger derricks, rig loads, signal operators, inspect cranes, and plan and direct lifts. Standardized assessment and certification of the skills and knowledge required for safe operation have repeatedly proven to improve safety.
Certification Location:
All CCO certifications are accredited by the American National Standards Institute National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and meet the requirements defined under OSHA’s new rules for cranes and derricks used in construction (29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC). CCO representatives regularly liaise with OSHA officials to seek clarifications of the new rules, relay concerns from industry, and ensure that CCO examinations remain in compliance.
