safety standards for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (formerly aerial
lifts) and most material moving heavy equipment have been revised. The
updated training and operating requirements include hazard recognition,
assessing work site conditions, fall protection, developing safe use
programs and a review of the operator’s manual including operator and
supervisor responsibilities. IAMU is conducting classes at our
location. Sessions include classroom, testing and hands-on practical
examinations. Successful operators will be provided with a certificate
and a wallet card. Please see the brochure for class requirements, dates
and times. Jobsite safety should be everyone’s number one

April 4 - 13 and April 18 - 20 are the next batches of recertification classes for mobile crane operators.
CLICK HERE to register! Spots are limited!
Crane
operators will know and implement the rules and regulations set forth
by ASME B30.5 and will safely apply those standards in daily operations.
Operators will read, know, and apply all information provided in the
manufacturer’s operator manual and will be able to interpret load
charts, load testing, LMIs, and any safety instrumentation of each
crane. Crane operators will know machine conditions, operational
limitations, and load limitations for situations in which the operator
may be involved. The operators will conduct all hoisting operations in a
safe manner. Operators will be able to effectively communicate with
riggers, signal persons, and other site personnel involved with hoisting
operations.
The content and titles of NCCER’s mobile crane operator
assessments are dependent upon each crane’s boom types while the
content and titles of the practical examinations are grouped by the
mount, or carriage, that is used with each crane.
Applicants who
successfully complete both the knowledge and skills evaluations will be
granted “certified mobile crane operator” status for a period of five
years from issuance of certification.
Certified crane operators must
continue to meet ASME B30 physical requirements throughout their
certification period and attest to their agreement to this requirement
in their applications.
OSHA requires employers to use qualified
riggers during hoisting activities for assembly and disassembly work,
when workers are within the fall zone and hooking, unhooking or guiding a
load or doing the initial connection of a load to a component or structure.
The
level of certification depends upon the individual’s training,
knowledge, skill base, and ability to perform functions related to the
selection, inspection, and proper use of rigging equipment. This person
may be a pipe-fitter, an electrician or steelworker. Each load, pick,
crane or job-site may require rigging that varies from simple to
complex. Each is unique. The person designated as the rigger must have
the ability to properly rig the load for a particular job. Many
construction companies require certified riggers be used to attach the
load to a crane hook. We offer three levels of Rigger certification to
help you reach that next step in your profession.
Each
participant will need to bring their PPE for the practical exam: High
Viz clothing, hardhat, safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, and long
pants.
