A certified rigger is someone who is trained and designated to handle and move large loads. NCCCO rigging certification requires that the individual know how to properly use the equipment; and has the training, knowledge, skill base, and abilities to perform all functions required with selection and inspection of mechanical load shifting equipments. The individual must also be qualified in an area such as iron working, electricity, carpentry, mill-working, mechanics, masonry, pipe fitting, or any other similar area of expertise.
Founded in 1995, the institute is a nonprofit organization that establishes fair and independent evaluations of crane operators. The NCCCO Written and Practical Examinations have been created and administered for those wishing to have CCO certifications. Additional certification programs for similar occupations like riggers and signalpersons have been created, due to personnel responsibilities in the industry becoming more defined and specific.
The rigger certification program is nationally recognized, and is the product of three years of expert work from industries like construction, steel, iron, utilities, petrochemicals, engineering, and sling manufacturers. The task forces of the NCCCO are also made up of experts, but these being directly from the industry. There are riggers themselves, supervisors, managers, training directors, and also manufacturers. These individuals represent thousands of hours in mechanical load shifting equipments' experience all together.
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.
The exception to using drugs is only if it is prescribed specifically by a doctor who is very familiar with all the rigging duties and mechanics involved. This doctor can say for sure that the prescribed substance won't affect a rigger's ability to perform all the equipment and safety practices. In order to stay certified, riggers have to keep to these rules that are set in place by the institute, and comply strictly with the Substance Abuse Policy. If riggers do not comply, their certifications can be immediately revoked.
