lock the information away in a filing cabinet or save it to an electronic file without making the information searchable and dynamic.” Working with iReportSource Inc., Crane Industry Services, LLC (CIS) has customized an online reporting tool for crane users. iReportSource integrates all the pieces of project planning—resources and skills needed, schedules, and staffing capabilities—into a daily report. Crane operator evaluations are just one more piece of data that can be added to the overall big picture. By inputting crane operator evaluations
into iReportSource, managers can know what their workforce is able to do, in real time, from any location. It offers instant record- keeping, and is one of the most affordable and user-friendly programs on the market, believes Dickinson. From a computer or mobile device, the user can see identifiers tied to an employee ID number. Once the number is input, the system reports criteria for how to find that employee. The user can see all the different areas in which the operator has been trained and certified and his or her safety record. The crane operator
evaluations can be done live on a mobile device and instantly become part of the system. “You can also input notes about a laborer’s productivity and whether he or she is working on time and on budget, and his or her role in the overall project,” says Dickinson. Separately, CIS welcomes two staff
members who will fill roles as crane inspectors and trainers. Noel Whelchel and Larry Johns bring unique skill sets to assist contractors and utility companies with equipment and personnel evaluations. With Business and Sports Administration
degrees from University of Georgia and Georgia State University, Whelchel has more than17 years of leadership experience. His expertise includes strategic planning and program coordination. “Noel is interested in the application of technology tools to safety management. He will take leadership roles in the implementation of iReportSource for online, dynamic employee recordkeeping, and simulation training and onboarding schools with new craft skills programs,” said Debbie Dickinson, CEO of CIS. Johns has more than 35 years of experience
Larry Johns Noel Whelchel
in structural steel and heavy-lift rigging, and as a signal person. His certifications include NCCER Advanced Rigging and Ironworker; NCCCO Rigger/Signal Person and Crane Operator. He is authorized to train OSHA 10 and OSHA 30-hour courses. “Larry has years of real-world experience working as a foreman for multiple general and specialty contractors, and he is a wealth of knowledge and experience running everything from friction lattice-boom cranes to telescopic mobile cranes,” said Dickinson. “CIS is excited about its significant
growth and all that Johns and Whelchel add to the already dynamic CIS team,” she said. Visit
