NCCCO’s 3rd Annual Forum on Personnel Qualifications

With OSHA’s November crane operator certification deadline looming, there’s never been a better time to discuss the certification, evaluation and qualification of crane operators. The opportunity presents itself at NCCCO‘s third annual industry forum on personnel qualifications, which takes place at the Maritime Conference Center, Linthicum Heights (Baltimore), Maryland on 3 October.

Scheduled to coincide with NCCCO‘s Commissioners Fall Meetings Week, this year’s Forum will once again bring together crane industry experts to discuss the latest topics and trends related to crane and rigging personnel qualifications. The NCCCO Third Annual Industry Forum on Personnel Qualifications takes place 1:30 – 5:30pm.

In addition to reviewing the status of state and federal (OSHA) standards and regulations, it’ll be addressing a host of relevant issues including: How to Maintain Program Integrity through a Robust Ethics and Auditing System; What a Deep Dive into Testing Data Reveals about Candidates; Tackling the “Most Similar” Dilemma: CTAG Gets Down to Work; Interpreting OSHA’s Interpretations; and What’s Next on the Certification Horizon?

The Forum will conclude with a special Panel Discussion featuring a wide-ranging debate on subjects as diverse as: Does Virtual Reality Have a Role in High-Stakes Certification?; When Do Testing Accommodations UNlevel the Playing Field?; The Worrying Trend Among States to Discard Certification; Can We Prevent “Bad Actor” Certification Shopping; and much more. Come with your questions to challenge the panel of experts!
