June 2017—NCCCO took advantage of the recent CONEXPO to convene an in-person meeting of its Australian Crane Operator Assessment Review Group. The Group has been working with the Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA) for several months reviewing proposals being laid by CICA on behalf of the Australian crane industry to develop a more meaningful and reliable evaluation process than the current national requirement provides.
The Group received updates from CICA CEO, Brandon Hitch, as well as Operator Assessment Officer, Pat Cran, and reviewed CICA’s latest video outlining the onsite evaluation process.
