The Future of Crane Safety

History of the CCAA

In 1984, the CCAA was founded by eight crane certifiers to establish standards for their industry. The objective was to build the knowledge of crane inspectors through training, testing and certification; and with free exchange of ideas between professionals, to gain competitive advantage and grow their companies. Through a recognized accreditation program, the CCAA helps provide a source of certified professional inspectors for crane owners/operators and clients for their membership

Our Next Conference

2019 Spring Educational Conference

I hope you enjoyed our Fall 2018 Educational Conference in Philadelphia. I believe the plans we have for our Spring 2019 Educational Conference will motivate you to join us in Salem Oregon where we will kick off the activities with a visit to Morrow Equipment Company to tour their Tower Crane facility. Following that will be a two-hour training session on Tower Cranes by Chris Smith, Morrows outstanding training manager.

Not only that, but Donald ORourke will present Crane Inspections III on condition inspections, followed by JR Bristow with another of his unforgettable presentations showing graphic crane failures. Ray Feidt will provide a session on Possible Solutions for legal problems in crane inspections. We will also hear about crane rope issues by Python Rope. Dennis ORourke will discuss how to deal with inspection points that we cant see. There will be a Crane Surveyor Safety Roundtable in which the audience will be invited to participate.

In addition to this, we will have our traditional Reception on Sunday night, two networking breakfasts and a New Member/First Timer Reception to welcome those who are new to our Educational Conferences, and we expect to provide testing for three of the CCS designations. Dont miss this outstanding program to be presented March 31-April 2, 2019 in Salem Oregon.
