In response to numerous industry requests for a standardized mechanism to comply with OSHA requirements for crane operators to be evaluated, CCO<\/a> has announced plans to develop the first national credential for evaluators of crane operators.<\/p>\n

OSHA has made it clear that the evaluators of operators need to be qualified and that crane operator qualifications do not necessarily apply. This has resulted in employers largely self-qualifying evaluators of crane operators under varying approaches. CCO<\/a> is the gold standard for creating nationally standardized exams for the load handling industry, as it has administered more than 1.75 million exams and is the industry\u2019s recognized certification body.<\/p>\n

\"\"

CCO was formed in 1995 as an independent, non-profit organization by industry to develop and administer a nationwide program for the certification of crane operators and related personnel.<\/p><\/div>\n

To create the strongest program possible, CCO<\/a> seeks the expertise of those who are currently serving as evaluators of crane operators to serve on the task force that will develop this credential.<\/p>\n

Those who would like to participate on the Evaluators of Crane Operators Task Force are encouraged to complete and submit an\u00a0application form.<\/p>\n

Experts in their respective fields will staff the task force and will be guided by CCO<\/a>\u2019s psychometricians. As with current CCO<\/a> programs, a professional job task analysis will be conducted to serve as the foundation for exam development activities.<\/p>\n

CCO<\/a> Director of Certification & Credentialing, Bob Mahlman stated that development of the new credential would begin in early 2023 and the new credential will be available in early 2024. \u201cWe are developing a schedule where the development of the program could be complete within 12\u201315 months of our first meeting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"

CCO has announced plans to develop the first national credential for evaluators of crane operators.<\/p><\/div>\n

Like CCO<\/a>\u2019s other programs, this new Crane Operator Evaluator credential will rely on three major resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new program will draw on industry support, subject matter expertise, and psychometric guidance,\u201d said Mahlman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll elements of the new program will be developed according to the same strict psychometric standards that are a hallmark of all CCO<\/a>\u2019s programs. The resulting credential will be fair, valid, reliable, and legally defensible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
