RIGGER Level I Training for CCO CERTIFICATION

RIGGER I CCO CERTIFICATION

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.

ABOUT THE CCO RIGGING CERTIFICATION

CCO Rigger Level I Certification is a portable license that is recognized as the gold standard for basic rigging qualification. The license is portable and is not site specific. The basic rigger program includes simple, repetitive rigging tasks when the load weight, center of gravity, the rigging and the rigging configuration are provided or known by the rigger. Rigger I candidates will demonstrate they are able to inspect rigging before each use, identify and attach rigging through knowledge of hitch configurations, capacities, and basic knots. They are able to recognize associated hazards and perform signal operation for a safe lift.

The CCO certification program is recognized by the Federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration as meeting OSHA’s requirements for basic rigging qualification.
