People who are trained in and are designated to handle and move loads are certified riggers. Certification of NCCCO rigging involves having a trained and knowledgeable individual with a skill base to know how to properly use the mechanical load shifting equipment and have the ability to perform all rigging functions. The individual has to also be pre-qualified in an expertise such as electricity, iron-working, carpentry, mechanics, mill-working, pipe fitting, boiler-making, masonry, or any other similar title.
Established in 1995, the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators is a nonprofit company that establishes independent and fair evaluations of crane users. The NCCCO Practical and Written Examinations are carefully created and conducted for those who want to have CCO qualifications. Additional certification courses for similar professions like signalpersons and riggers have been created, because of personnel responsibilities within the industry becoming more specific and defined.
This is a nationally recognized rigger certification program that has been developed over three years by experts from similar industries. These professionals are those of construction, steel, iron, operation engineering, utilities, related hardware, petrochemicals, and sling manufacturers. Task forces of the institute all include these specific experts, along with those from the rigging industry itself. These include riggers, trainers, managers, supervisors, and manufacturers. They all work together and reflect thousands of experience.
These people are all volunteers that've freely given their expert advice and time to develop safety regulations for rigging equipment personnel. Mechanical load shifting equipment qualification, until recently, was was voluntary unless otherwise required by nearest jurisdictions. In November of 2010, the federal OSHA put new national policies for all derricks and cranes under 29 CFR 1926 Sub section CC. This categorically states that every rigger must be certified.
The institute's exams stay valid measures of a rigger's abilities by having the task forces' assessments compared to the judgment of the International Assessment Institute in Dunedin, Florida; or IAI. The IAI makes constant reports by examining the exams and hands them to the NCCCO Exam Management Committees, who then uses them to properly maintain the exams' abilities or develop new ways of assessments.
The IAI also helps administer the exams for them to stay fair and independent. Neither of these organizations train individual riggers. They also cannot provide training material to them.
NCCCO policies prohibit any prescribed or over-the-counter drugs that might impair riggers from safely performing their jobs. These include even trace amounts of illegal or controlled substances, and designer or look-alike drugs. Any other substance that might show up as a narcotic, depressant, stimulant, or hallucinogen in the human body is also prohibited.
There is an exception to the Substance Abuse Policy of the institute if the medication is prescribed by a doctor that understands rigging mechanics and all the duties riggers have to perform. The drug must not affect the abilities of the rigger, and must allow for safe practices. To keep their certifications, riggers have to comply with these rules that are strictly placed by the NCCCO. If for whatever reason the riggers stray from the regulations set forth, their certifications can be immediately taken away.
