A new publication from the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO)<\/a> documents the evolution of the organization from its deep roots in the industry in the mid-1980s.<\/p>\n

Raising the Bar: How NCCCO<\/a> is transforming worksite safety through certification excellence<\/em> tells the story of how the vision of a safer workplace through professional credentialing was conceived and nurtured into reality. Most importantly, however, it documents how NCCCO<\/a>\u2019s relentless commitment to quality is continuously manifested in practice today, and what lies behind the organization\u2019s adherence to the highest levels of integrity and professionalism that have led to it being regarded as the Gold Standard of personnel certification.<\/p>\n

Each of the book\u2019s 15 chapters focuses on a key element central to the foundation on which NCCCO<\/a> programs have been built. Chapter 3, for example, outlines the organization\u2019s pursuit of fairness and integrity that are cornerstones of NCCCO<\/a> examinations, while the importance of maintaining ethical standards is emphasized in Chapter 6, and participation in rulemaking and standards development is highlighted in Chapter 11. An Introduction and two Appendices document the establishment and growth of the organization over a quarter of a century.<\/p>\n

Raising the Bar: How NCCCO is transforming worksite safety through certification excellence.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cNone of what you read in Raising the Bar would have happened without the dedication, commitment and expertise of the hundreds of industry experts that have come together over more than 25 years to create the most effective, fair and reliable tests of knowledge and skill essential for worksite safety,\u201d said NCCCO<\/a> CEO, Thom Sicklesteel.<\/p>\n

Born of a vision that worksite safety could be improved through comprehensive training and testing of crane operators, NCCCO<\/a> has expanded its range of certification programs over the years to embrace the many roles and responsibilities of those working in construction as well as other work environments, and in a variety of industries. \u201cThat\u2019s why we devote so much testimony to their contributions throughout the publication and why we never lose sight that it was industry, not the regulators, who paved the way for this transformative experience for the construction industry,\u201d said founding NCCCO<\/a> CEO, Graham Brent, who authored and edited the book. The results of their hard work has become evident through studies and surveys over the last decade and is fully documented in Chapter 14, Measuring Success, he noted.<\/p>\n

Raising the Bar was produced with the generous financial assistance of the following companies and organizations: Manitowoc, Morrow, NationsBuilders Insurance Services (NBIS), Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA), and Terex.<\/p>\n
