Crane Tech: There's No Mystery to Crane Accidents Part 2

摘要

We pick up from last issue, continuing our extensive interview with Bo Collier. He oversees the day-to-day operations at Crane Tech and is a Commissioner for the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). Bo has served on numerous NCCCO task forces and sits on the Mobile Crane Written Exam Management Committee and the Rigging Management Committee: WRN: What qualifications do the instructors have? BO: Our instructors have anywhere between 20 and 30 years of experience operating and supervising crane and rigging operations. Jeff Ellis, our senior technician, was a Crane and Rigging Superintendent at a major east coast port before joining Crane Tech. Some of our instructors are previously Seabees, while others have many years of construction experience. They are all very good with math, expert lift planners, and meet anyone's definition of a subject matter expert. Once we locate a prospective instructor, we then test their ability to be patient. Equally important is their desire to help others because just showing up and spouting a bunch of technical information doesn't cut it.
