Have You Missed Anything?

The Qualification and Certification requirements under the recently enacted 29 CFR Subpart CC Crane and Derrick standards have received a great deal of attention. Widely publicized are the following deadlines:

  • All Crane Operators involved in construction must be Nationally Certified by November 10, 2014
  • All Riggers must be Trained and Qualified by November 8, 2010
  • All Signal Persons must be Trained and Designated as Qualified by November 8, 2010
  • Assembly/Disassembly Directors must be Trained and Designated
  • Crane Inspectors must be Trained and Designated as Qualified

But there are also equally important additions from this ground breaking OSHA ruling that many are not aware of:

  • Wire Rope Inspection Criteria
  • Responsibilities for Assembly/Disassembly Director
  • Signal Person Requirements that don’t include providing a signal
  • Working around Power Lines
  • Refresher Training
  • Crane Inspections

Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators. They exhibit an extensive background in the crane industry and their approach to training is very thorough and comprehensive. CICB’s professional instructors are highly dedicated and motivate everyone in the class to strive for excellence. The material is well-organized and the training is presented in a clear and concise manner. The classroom instruction and actual hands-on training go beyond our expectations. Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”

This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”

The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career
