Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Crane Signal Person Course.

   Crane signal person training is a safety education program that teaches workers how to properly direct crane operations using standard hand signals and voice commands. The course covers OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1419 signal person qualification requirements, crane types and classifications, hazard recognition, load movement procedures, and communication protocols. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate of completion and are prepared for the NCCCO certification examination.
  Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1419, any worker designated as a signal person on a construction site where cranes and derricks are in use must be qualified through either third-party certification or employer evaluation. Signal persons must demonstrate knowledge of standard hand signals and the ability to communicate effectively with crane operators. Employers are responsible for ensuring all signal persons meet these qualification requirements before performing signal duties.

Some workers may fill both roles, but each requires its own training and qualification.
