Operators’ Self-Assessment
• Survey of three-time CCO certificants• Average of 30 years operating• 87% stated CCO certification has made them
“safer operators”• 86% stated CCO certification has helped them
“do their jobs better”• More than 80% would recommend certification
to their co-workers or supervisors

The Canadian Experience
Ontario Crane-Related Deaths no. /year /100k workers
• 1969-1978 85 8.5 3.95• 1979-2002 51 2.1 0.76
• Death Rate down 80%
• Crane and rigging accidents as % of all construction accidents down 50%
![Page 37: CERTIFICATION IN THE LIFT ZONE Can Global Standards Apply in Latin America? Graham Brent, Executive Director National Commission for the Certification.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4f5503460f94b46c12/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The California Experience
CRANE ACCIDENTS, June ’02-’05 vs. June ’05-’08
FATAL ACCIDENTS ’02-’05 ’05-’08• High-Voltage line contacts 5 1• Struck by Loads 4 0• Mobile Cranes Overturned 1 1• Total Cases 10 2 80% decrease
NON-FATAL ACCIDENTS ’02-’05 ’05-’08• High Voltage Line Contact 7 4• Struck by Loads 18 3• Mobile Cranes Overturned 5 6• Total Cases 30 13 57% decrease

Global Certification?
• Crane manufacturing is global• Challenge of local codes and standards• Role of Accreditation
– National (e.g. ANSI)/International (e.g. ISO)– Role of ISO 17024– What it can (and cannot) do
• Pathway for International Recognition– International Accreditation Federation– “Certified Once, Accepted Everywhere”

Must therefore mean . . .
• “I CAN afford to have an accident.”
