Accredited Crane Operator Certification OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, released August 9, 2010, requires crane operators involved in construction to be certified by an accredited certification provider by November 10, 2014. An operator is defined as any person operating the equipment. To be accredited, certification providers must be accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency, defined as "an organization that, due to its independence and expertise, is widely recognized as competent to accredit testing organizations. Examples of such accrediting agencies include, but are not limited to, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies and the American National Standards Institute." This is the first time certification by an accredited certification provider has been required on a national level, although individual states (e.g., West Virginia, Hawaii, California) and cities (New York, Philadelphia) have required crane operator certification as far back as 2000. The new OSHA standards make the completion of this requirement an important topic of knowledge for the crane and lifting industry. == History == *1971 – OSHA passes 29 CFR 1926.550, which is the standard for cranes and derricks used in construction for the next 41 years. *1995 – The (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators ) (NCCCO) is established by the crane and lifting industry as a nonprofit organization to develop a certification program for crane operators. *1998 – NCCCO Mobile Crane Operator certification program is nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). *1999 – The Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH) recommended that OSHA propose a new rule for cranes and derricks. *1999 – There are 110 crane-related accidents with 51 deaths.〔Crane Accidents, Statistics, (), "Crane Accidents" July 27, 2010, accessed February 7, 2010.〕 *2003 – The Cranes and Derricks Negotiated Rulemaking Committee (C-DAC) began writing the new OSHA rule. *2003 – There are 269 crane-related accidents with 138 deaths. *2004 – The Cranes and Derricks Negotiated Rulemaking Committee (C-DAC) finished the first proposed draft of the new rule. *2004 – There are 287 crane-related accidents with 142 deaths. *2007 – Crane Institute of America founded (Crane Institute Certification ) (CIC), a completely independent organization that provides objective and impartial assessments of the knowledge, skills and abilities of crane operators, riggers, signalpersons and inspectors. *2008 – OSHA's proposed new rule is published and open for public debate. *2008 – There are 401 crane-related accidents with 217 deaths. *2010 – Final rule is published as OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, Cranes and Derricks in Construction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cranes and Derrick in Construction: Authority for 1926 Subpart CC )〕 *2014 – November 10 deadline for crane operators involved in construction to be certified.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cranes and Derrick in Construction: Operator qualification and certification )〕 *2015 – Optimus Dressamus is awarded crane operator of the year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Accredited Crane Operator Certification」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
