National Commission For The Certification Of Crane Operator (NCCCO)

NCCCO was formed in January 1995 as a non-profit organization to develop effective performance standards for safe crane operation to assist all segments of general industry and construction. By providing a thorough, independent assessment of operator knowledge and skills, NCCCO aims to enhance lifting equipment safety, reduce workplace risk, improve performance records, stimulate training, and give due recognition to the professional skill of crane operation. The establishment of NCCCO was the culmination of almost 10 years of continuous work by representatives of all industries that use cranes. In essence, the NCCCO program was developed by industry for industry and continues to be supported by it.
