Among the reasons given are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you wait till the last minute you may not have time to be certified.<\/li>\n<li>Employers still have an obligation to train, so why not see if that training has been<br \/>\neffective by certifying?<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re probably paying higher insurance premiums if your operators aren\u2019t certified.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re likely missing out on work to employers who do have certified operators.<\/li>\n<li>Ultimately, It\u2019s the right\u2014and safe\u2014thing to do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the first time the industry has had to come to terms with an extension of this rule, but, in the minds of most safety-conscious professionals, this should not be a reason to further delay training and certification,\u201d said NCCCO CEO, Graham Brent. \u201cEvery day that goes by without certified operators in the cab means those working around cranes\u2014and even the general public who daily navigate construction sites in city after city across the country\u2014are being put at greater risk of a crane incident that need not have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4736\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4736\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4736\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-02-at-10.25.01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"410\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-02-at-10.25.01.png 410w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-02-at-10.25.01-400x286.png 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-02-at-10.25.01-322x230.png 322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4736\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) has launched the It\u2019s Not Worth the Wait program.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe safety benefits that accrue from professionally developed, accredited certification that has been available now for more than two decades are so compelling, it just doesn\u2019t make any sense to delay embracing it a day longer,\u201d he added. \u201cThe wait simply isn\u2019t worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See and hear industry leaders talk about the consequences of waiting to certify at: www.nccco.org\/dontwait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal OSHA may have delayed its crane operator certification requirement for another year, but that\u2019s no reason not to pursue training and certification.
