Total Equipment Training training

In accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1400, Total Equipment Training offers crane certification through the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). The NCCCO certification program is recognized by the Federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration as meeting OSHA’s requirements for crane operator competency. The crane operator certification is mandatory for crane operators who work in industries like construction. Different states have different criteria that must be met before issuing a crane operator license.

OSHA requires a “Qualified” Rigger during assembly/disassembly of cranes and when a person is engaged in hooking, unhooking, guiding a load, or the initial connection of a load to a component or structure and is within the fall zone (1926.1404; 1926.1425). Employers can opt to train their riggers in-house to qualify them for the specific rigging duties required (site specific). However, this qualification is only recognized while working for that employer.
