Crane & Rigging Training in Massachusetts

Industry-Leading Training at Your Location.

A Smarter Approach to Crane Training in Massachusetts

Operating cranes safely and legally requires more than experience alone. Employers are responsible for preparing operators, riggers, and inspectors to meet OSHA requirements while keeping projects on schedule and crews productive. Massachusetts crane training from CICB is designed to meet those demands through expert-led programs delivered directly to your workplace.

Training That Comes to You

For many organizations, scheduling is the most significant barrier to compliance. On-site crane training removes that obstacle by integrating education into your operation rather than interrupting it.

CICB instructors travel throughout the state to deliver training at construction sites, industrial facilities, ports, and manufacturing plants. This approach allows companies to:

  • Keep crews together and productive.
  • Train using their own cranes and rigging equipment.
  • Reduce lost work hours and travel costs.
  • Address site-specific risks in real time.

Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators.

This class was one of the best I have ever coordinated for our employees! Jason was, by far, the best instructor I have ever seen present an extremely technical course. His personality was perfect for the audience and made him very relatable. His technical proficiency was exemplary! He is completely capable of and, for the most part, did teach the entire class without referring to the slides or reference material. He also went way above and beyond in his commitment to ensuring the students not only learned but retained the material and stayed late into each evening to assist those requiring additional assistance. The employees could not say enough great things about Jason's skills and commitment to learning. We now have 10 employees trained to operate our cranes and, even though the majority of them do not work together, a group of employees that overcame some adversity and became a cohesive team. They are begging me to bring the CICB back!”

The Instructor Larry Kime is absolutely one of the best instructors I have ever had, and I have a degree in mechanical engineering. Larry’s knowledge both written and practical is current and accessible. I would recommend Larry to a new beginner or someone that has been in the lifting industry their whole career."

Crane Training Services Available

CICB provides a full range of crane training programs, including:

Crane Operator Training

Crane operator training in Massachusetts prepares operators to safely perform lifting operations while meeting OSHA expectations under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. Programs focus on operational responsibilities, load handling, crane limitations, and hazard recognition. For experienced operators, training can also support preparation for CCO certification exams where applicable.

Rigger Training and Qualification

Rigging plays a critical role in safe lifting operations. Rigger certification in Massachusetts emphasizes load control, rigging selection, inspection procedures, and communication practices. Training supports employer qualification requirements and helps reduce incidents caused by improper rigging techniques.

Crane Inspector Training

Organizations responsible for crane inspections rely on trained personnel to identify issues before failures occur. Crane inspector training develops the knowledge required to evaluate crane condition, document findings, and understand inspection criteria aligned with OSHA regulations and applicable ASME standards.

Instruction Led by Industry Professionals

CICB instructors bring decades of hands-on crane operating experience to every program. Beyond certifications, they understand how cranes are used in real environments, from heavy construction and infrastructure projects to industrial and manufacturing settings.

Training is built around current OSHA requirements and references applicable ASME and ANSI standards, but it goes further by translating regulations into practical, job-ready knowledge. This approach supports safety managers building defensible compliance programs while helping supervisors manage teams with varying experience levels.

Training Customized to Your Operation

No two operations function the same way. CICB evaluates each organization’s equipment, workforce experience, and operational constraints before training begins. Programs are customized to reflect:

  • Crane types and lifting applications.
  • Industry-specific hazards.
  • Employee skill levels.
  • Production schedules and site conditions.
