1 OPERATOR CERTIFICATION The Benefits of an Industry-Led Approach Graham Brent Chief Executive Officer National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) International Cranes and Transport Asia Pacific Singapore, 30 September, 2014

2 NCCCO Certification History 1987: Industry concern at crane accidents 1989: San Francisco Tower Crane Accident 1990: Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) takes leadership role 1995: National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators established as a non-profit organization 1996: First tests (written) administered

3 Standards & Regulations No Federal licensing requirement Handful of States required licensing OSHA Federal training rule very general ASME national standard (B30.5) more specific, but voluntary No culture of testing or even systemized training in construction industry

4 U.S. Licensing Requirements 1995 WA ME MT ND MN VT NH OR** ID SD WI MI NY MA CT NV UT WY CO NE KS IA MO IL IN OH KY WV NJ* PA MD VA DE RI CA NC TN AZ NM OK AR SC MS AL GA TX LA AK FL HI 2012 National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) : State Licensing Program : Licensing not legislated *Long Boom License Only **Mandatory Training Requirement Only 4

5 Government or Industry? 1992: Federal OSHA rule (ANPR) proposed 1998: Work Group formed 2003: Committee established 2004: Draft rule completed 2009: Proposed rule published 2010: Final rule published, BUT operator qualification/certification 4-year delay 2014: Further 3-year delay 2017: 25 Years Later?

6 Perceived Benefits of Operator Certification Improve Safety reduce accidents fewer deaths/injuries less property damage Industry needs to be proactive, self-policing Improve public image of industry Professional status of operator

7 Professional Recognition 7

8 Key Concepts Training is essential only effective if learning verified verified through certification Certification body should not conduct training should be independently accredited

9 OUR MISSION To develop effective performance standards for those who work in and around cranes; provide fair, valid and reliable assessments of their knowledge and skill; and act as an authoritative industry resource of related information.

10 OUR VISION A global lifting environment in which crane and crane-related risks are reduced, performance records improved, training needs stimulated, and overall safety enhanced.

35 Candidate Data Analysis What can we learn from candidates about Validity of test content? Effect of CCO certification? Crane operations in the field? Areas they struggle with? Extrapolate to real world Implications for training (training needs analysis) NCCCO launches Technical Bulletin series

36 Job Task Analysis Define required knowledge How important is the particular knowledge or skill? How frequently does an operator use that knowledge or skill? Four main knowledge areas Site; Operation; Technical knowledge; Load charts

37 Operator Survey Results 6,000 + surveyed, 1,700 responded 100% responding were/had been operators 70% were still operators 33% had more than 10 years experience 55% had more than 20 years experience Swing cab (TLL) crane most popular certification More than half had operated lattice boom cranes

38 Survey Results Test integrity process Knowledge, skills and abilities 95% were considered critical to safe operation Used at least weekly by mobile crane operators Exam content validated Comments overwhelmingly positive Survey revealed clear support for nationwide Crane Operator Certification 78% had received some classroom training

39 Operators Self-Assessment Survey of three-time CCO certificants 87% stated CCO certification has made them safer operators 86% stated CCO certification has helped them do their jobs better More than 80% would recommend certification to their co-workers or supervisors

40 Candidate Data Analysis Understanding Load Charts Line pull as a limiting factor Role of calculators Impact on states requirements/test administration Testing by Type Does size matter? Making assumptions about capacity Large vs. Small or Swing vs. Fixed? OSHA (federal, required) vs. ASME (national, voluntary)

41 Global Certification? Crane manufacturing is global Desire for increased safety also global Challenge of local codes and standards Role of Accreditation Pathway for International Recognition

42 Role of Accreditation Role of Accreditation National (e.g. ANSI)/International (e.g. ISO) Role of ISO Conformity assessment - General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons What it can (and cannot) do Pathway for International Recognition International Accreditation Federation (IAF) Certified Once, Accepted Everywhere
