WHAT’S NEW NCCCO LAUNCHES ONLINE CERTIFICATION VERIFICATION SYSTEM
The National Commission for the Certifi cation of Crane Operators (NCCCO) recently launched an online system that allows the credentials of CCO-certifi ed individuals to be instantly verifi ed via the Internet. Access to the new system, known as Verify CCO Online or “VCO,” is
through the NCCCO website
www.nccco.org or via a special address,
www.verifycco.org. After registering and logging in, users simply enter a certifi cation number and the system provides a listing of all associated certifi cations, together with their expiration dates. VCO can be accessed at any time from nearly every device with an Internet connection, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. “Providing this access to the NCCCO national certifi cation database allows an individual’s CCO certifi cations to be
checked with a few keystrokes, 24/7, 365 days of the year,” said NCCCO Commission Chairman, Ellis Vliet. The service is being provided completely free of charge to registered users, he said. “VCO is expected to be particularly useful in cases where employers are presented with a photocopy of a CCO
certifi cation card which, by itself, is not suffi cient proof of certifi cation,” said NCCCO Executive Director, Graham Brent. But he also cautioned that, similarly, printouts from the VCO system are also not considered valid proof of certifi cation by themselves and do not replace an offi cial CCO photo ID certifi cation card. NCCCO issues separate CCO certifi cation cards for operators, riggers and/or signalpersons, and crane inspectors,
with separate certifi cation numbers and expiration dates. The comprehensive VCO system not only lists the types of equipment that operators are certifi ed on but also indicates if they have additional CCO certifi cations and displays all this certifi cation data on a single screen. This feature will help employers maintain up-to-date records of their employees and ensure their compliance with all current and future governmental requirements. “With OSHA’s November 2014 deadline for crane operators working in construction to be certifi ed fast approaching,
we expect this system to become an increasingly important tool for employers and government entities seeking to verify operators’ certifi cation status,” Brent added. ❙
