Operator Evaluations FAQ

What's the difference between certification and evaluation?

Certification (CCO) shows an operator has met a national standard. The employer evaluation is required on top of that - it confirms the operator can safely run the specific equipment for the specific job.

When do I need to re-evaluate an operator?

When the operator is assigned a different crane type or configuration, when assigned a new task, or when performance issues arise. OSHA 1926.1427 details the triggers.
