Most field mechanics/technicians have small hoisting devices on their service trucks, typically in the 4,000 – 10,000 pounds capacity range. Do these mechanics/technicians need to be certified?
The issue of whether certification is required is a question for the employer. But note that the B30.5 mobile crane standards covers all mobile telescopic cranes above 1 ton capacity. OSHA requires all operators of equipment be trained in their safe use. NCCCO certification can serve as an effective, legally-defensible verification of that training.
