AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR CRANE OPERATORS AND THE ENTIRE HOISTING & RIGGING TEAM
The mobile crane market is immense and growing as a direct result of increased residential and commercial construction all over the world. Unfortunately, along with this "boom" comes major problems. As many as two workers a month have died in crane-related accidents. Better regulation and training are desperately needed.
Less than 10 years ago, certification of crane operators by an accredited crane operator testing organization was finally mandated in the US. And the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) has developed several written examinations tailored to specific crane types used throughout the world. But the more than 400,000 crane operators and their colleagues require a resource for field operations, regulatory compliance, and accredited certification. Fortunately, this book is now available, providing a roadmap for success and a manual for coming home safely.
Mobile Crane Training and Certification is intended for those individuals who are preparing to take the National NCCCO Examinations. It is an essential resource for all professionals working with cranes, including operators, supervisors, signal persons, riggers, crane owners, and lift directors. This work contains vital recommendations, guidelines, and procedures that are applicable to most craning and rigging circumstances. It is destined to become a mobile crane industry bible.
The information presented has been obtained from crane manufacturers, specifications, government regulations, and published standards. This work was masterfully written by Danny Thiemens, a renowned crane professional and trainer with more than 50 years in the business.
