The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) has been awarded accreditation by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
All three certification programmes, including Overhead Crane Operator, are now accredited by ANSI to the ISO/IEC 17024 International Standard for organisations that certify personnel.
NCCCO president John Kennedy said: “Accreditation by ANSI is a remarkable validation of the vision, determination and dedication of the hundreds of volunteers from across the country who worked tirelessly to establish this national programme of crane operator proficiency and who, over the last ten years, have strived to maintain it.”
NCCCO commission chairman Kerry Hulse added: “As someone who was involved in the development of the programme from the outset, I can’t think of a more appropriate validation of their efforts than for the organisation they helped to create receiving this affirmation from ANSI, the nation’s pre-eminent standards-setting body.”
Among the American National Standards developed under ANSI guidelines are the ASME B30 lifting standards, on which CCO certifications are extensively based
