Military Crane Operator Training

Common OSHA Violations With Cranes in Construction and How To Avoid Them

Meeting Compliance and Operational Requirements

CICB Services - keeping you safe during your crane and rigging operations.

Meeting Compliance and Operational Requirements

Military crane operations are subject to the same legal and industry standards as those of private-sector employers under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. This regulation defines the qualification and certification requirements for crane operators, while the ASME B30 standards establish safe practices for the operation and maintenance of crane and rigging equipment. 

CICB's training supports compliance with these standards and integrates Department of Defense-specific safety requirements, helping maintain operational integrity and accountability. In addition to operator and rigger training, CICB also offers inspection and signalperson programs that strengthen safety oversight and communication during lifting operations.

Training Locations and Custom Delivery

CICB offers training at its accredited facilities or directly at military installations and government worksites across the United States. Mobile training delivery allows units to receive instruction using their own cranes and equipment, enhancing familiarity with their operational systems and configurations.

Before training, our team assesses the location and equipment to confirm alignment with applicable standards and safety practices. This approach provides efficient, mission-ready instruction while supporting compliance with OSHA, ASME, and military safety protocols.

Safe and compliant lifting operations are crucial to the success of military and defense missions, whether supporting base operations, logistics, maintenance, or engineering units. Crane operators and riggers must be trained to meet stringent safety and performance requirements.

CICB offers specialized crane training for military personnel, designed to enhance operational capability, mitigate risk, and promote compliance with national safety standards.
