CCO Cares

The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (CCO) has launched its CCO Cares initiative.

CCO wants candidates and certificants to know that they are more than just a certification number. It understands that behind each participant in the program is a hard-working, safety-minded professional who cares deeply about the work they do.

At the core, CCO knows that each certificant wants to be sure that everyone on the jobsite gets home safely to their families at the end of the day.

CCO, and everyone on the team, understands that certification is just a small portion of a certificant’s life, an interaction that takes place once every five years. Every day certificants and candidates experience life events, both happy and sad. CCO wants to recognize those important life events with you. Whether it be a marriage, a new addition to a family, or those more difficult times, CCO feels the joy and the pain too.

CCO was formed in 1995 as an independent, non-profit organization by industry to develop and administer a nationwide program for the certification of crane operators and related personnel.

CCO also wants people to know that their voices are valued as are the suggestions they bring to the organization. CCO appreciates feedback, both in the form of opportunities to improve as well as experiences that have gone well. Hearing from stakeholders gives it the chance to make CCO even better, acknowledge outstanding team members, or make amends when something hasn’t gone as anticipated.

In the future, people can expect to see gestures of acknowledgement when significant events occur. Ultimately, CCO cares.
