Up until now no independent mechanism has existed for operators to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of this equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unique challenges and operational practices required by drill rig equipment necessitated new certification exams different from any other CCO program,\u201d said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/national-commission-certification-crane-operators-nccco\/\">NCCCO<\/a> Director of Operations, Joel Oliva. \u201cThe new Foundation Drill Rig (FDR) and Anchor\/Micropile Drill Rig (AMP) Operator certifications address a need identified by the industry for an operator certification specifically designed for operators of these specialized machines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/national-commission-certification-crane-operators-nccco\/\">NCCCO<\/a> developed the program in cooperation with the International Association of Foundation Drilling (ADSC). A task force of subject matter experts representing operators, users, owners, manufacturers, trainers, and other stakeholders developed the written and practical examinations that individuals must pass to become certified.<\/p>\n<p>Task force members identified the knowledge areas and tasks necessary for safe drill rig operation. Using sound psychometric principles and the very best practices of test development they developed examinations that are fair, valid, reliable, and legally defensible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cADSC has been delighted to work with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/national-commission-certification-crane-operators-nccco\/\">NCCCO<\/a> over the last two years in the development of this program, which will make a major contribution to ensuring drill rig equipment is operated in a safe and professional manner,\u201d said ADSC CEO Mike Moore. \u201cBy providing the industry with assessments that are specifically focused on the work that operators perform on a daily basis, we will ensure that operators are proficient and knowledgeable and thereby reduce risk and improve safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5887\" style=\"width: 327px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5887\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5887\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image015.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image015.jpg 317w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image015-308x230.jpg 308w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first practical examiner accreditation program (PEAP) workshop for the new drill rig operator program was hosted by Western Equipment Solutions in Salt Lake City, where a Soilmec R-412 was put through its paces.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s the Right Thing To Do<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Noting that OSHA does not currenty require operators of drill rigs to be certified, Oliva and Moore observed that employers are nevertheless required to ensure they are trained and qualified.\u00a0 Certification can play a major role in that process, Oliva noted. \u201cWe fully anticipate safety-minded employers, general contractors and project owners, not to mention insurance companies, will recognize the value of CCO Drill Rig certification in risk mitigation, and leverage its power as a third-party independent evaluation tool,\u201d said Oliva. \u201cBy involving the entire industry in the program\u2019s development, we can ensure that the final product reflects current needs and brings value to the industry as a whole\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve certification candidates must take the Drill Rig Operator Core written exam and at least one written specialty exam (Foundation Drill Rig and\/or Anchor\/Micropile Drill Rig), as well as the corresponding specialty practical exam. The written exams cover a wide variety of knowledge areas critical to drill rig work, including pre-operations, site conditions, operations, technical knowledge, tooling, and communication. The practical exams require candidates to demonstrate their ability to operate the equipment and to utilize skills they habitually apply to in-the-field activities.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation drill rig practical exam includes tasks related to inspecting the equipment, site safety protocols, identifying operational controls, picking up and laying down pipe, tool positioning, drilling, and safe shutdown\/securing.<\/p>\n<p>The anchor\/micropile drill rig practical exam includes tasks related to inspecting the equipment, forward and reverse travel, vertical drill steel joint, angled and vertical drill steel placement, and safe shutdown\/securing.<\/p>\n<p>Full documentation for candidates and test sites preparing for the CCO drill rig operator certification exams is available at nccco.org\/DRO; free PDFs of the Drill Rig Operator Candidate Handbook and Test Site Coordinator Handbook can be downloaded from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nccco.org\/handbooks\">nccco.org\/handbooks<\/a>.
