Advanced Crane Operator Refresher

Catalog description

This course is restricted to students presently studying under the direction and oversight of an approved apprenticeship program, working in partnership with Columbus State Community College. This equivalent to a two day intensive class is offered only to students who are planning to take the CCO (Certification for Crane Operators) written exams. The fact that this class is termed a 'refresher' implies that students already have had some training and experience necessary to pass the written exams. Because of the comprehensive nature of the CCO written exam, not all subjects will be covered in depth. Topics covered include crane operator responsibilities, applicable OSHA and ANSI requirements, proper crane set-up, hand and radio signaling, crane inspection, working around high voltage, wire rope and rigging, load chart calculations for the CCO machines on the exam, load moment indicators, operational techniques, components and terminology, multiple crane lifts, and safety and accidents.
