What are the requirements for an operator to get “grand fathered”?
NCCCO does not “grandfather” any operators. The NCCCO examination is a test of knowledge and skills, not a test of experience. Experience can be good or bad, relevant or irrelevant, general or specific, and should not be used by itself as an indication of proficiency. Most field mechanics/technicians have small hoisting devices on their service trucks, typically in the 4,000 – 10,000 pounds capacity range.
