ICUEE
SHOW GUIDE
ACT
OCTOBER 2013
Safety Zone will feature demonstrations of the
new CCO Service Truck Crane (STC) Operator
certification practical exam, as well as demos of
the CCO Digger Derrick Operator, Articulating
Crane Operator and Rigger practical exams.
Qualified attendees will have an opportunity to
try their hands on the equipment’s controls to
get a feel for the nuances of each machine and
test their skills on actual CCO practical exam
courses.
To help candidates and certificants make the
most of their time at ICUEE, NCCCO will be
holding initial and recertification written exams
for all of its certification programs on Tuesday
and Thursday, as well as practical exams for the
new Service Truck Crane Operator certification
on Thursday. These exam administrations
will provide a convenient way for attendees
to prepare for OSHA’s upcoming deadline for
crane operator certification and will enable them
to leave the show CCO-certified. The written
STC certification exam takes approximately
90 minutes and the practical exam takes
approximately 45 minutes. Those who pass both
exams will receive a CCO Service Truck Crane
(STC) Operator certification, valid for five years,
reflecting their competence to operate service
truck cranes. To register for these exams,
contact Shawna Parham at (703) 560-2391,
ext. 214 or

The Crane Institute Certification (CIC) will be on
hand to discuss the availability of certification
programs for operators of articulating boom
cranes and digger derricks. Questions for CIC’s
Articulating Crane and Digger Derrick written
exams and practical tests were developed
by subject matter experts representing
manufacturers, public utilities, unions,
contractors and training professionals. Service/
Mechanic Trucks also fall under the responsibility
of the Multi-Purpose Equipment committee, for
which a certification program is currently under
development and scheduled for release by the
end of the year. In August, CIC will complete
another milestone in the accreditation process
with the American National Standards Institute
for Articulating Boom Crane and Digger Derrick
Operator Certification programs. CIC programs
are already NCCA accredited.
