Industry-Leading Training at Your Location.
Rhode Island Crane Training
Rhode Island businesses operating cranes face strict requirements. Operators, riggers, and inspectors must meet criteria set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) while maintaining uninterrupted operations. CICB delivers Rhode Island crane training directly at customer facilities, allowing companies to meet regulatory expectations without sending teams off-site or disrupting production schedules.
On-site delivery supports construction, manufacturing, and industrial operations that require qualified personnel while maintaining crews, equipment, and timelines.
Crane Training Delivered On-Site
CICB provides on-site crane training that Rhode Island businesses can schedule around operational demands. Programs are tailored to equipment types, lifting activities, and workplace conditions, aligning training with real-world operations rather than generic classroom scenarios.
Crane Operator Training and Certification Preparation
Rhode Island crane operator training programs are designed to meet OSHA certification requirements under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. They prepare candidates for nationally recognized exams administered by accredited organizations such as CCO®.
Rigger Training and Qualification
Rigger programs address OSHA’s requirement that employees who connect rigging to loads be qualified by their employer. Rigger certification in Rhode Island includes both qualification-focused training and preparation for credentialed testing, where applicable, with instruction covering load dynamics, rigging selection, inspection criteria, and safe connection practices.
Crane Inspector Training
Crane inspector training programs in Rhode Island support employers responsible for evaluating cranes used in daily operations. Training aligns with applicable ASME standards and OSHA regulations, focusing on inspection criteria, documentation expectations, and identifying conditions that could affect safe crane operation.

CICB provides truly exceptional overhead crane, hoist, and rigging training. The sessions are highly engaging, interactive, and hands-on—exactly what our team needs to build the confidence and capability required to perform safe, compliant lifts in our industrial environment.
A standout element of the experience is Larry’s delivery. His passion for the craft, deep expertise, and energetic facilitation style make even complex concepts easy to understand and apply. Our employees consistently walk away feeling well-prepared and motivated to use what they’ve learned.
I highly recommend CICB to any organization looking for high‑quality, safety‑focused training delivered by people who truly care about their craft and their customers."
Our site has been using CICB for a number of years to train and maintain certification for our crane operators. They exhibit an extensive background in the crane industry and their approach to training is very thorough and comprehensive. CICB’s professional instructors are highly dedicated and motivate everyone in the class to strive for excellence. The material is well-organized and the training is presented in a clear and concise manner. The classroom instruction and actual hands-on training go beyond our expectations. Our employees leave the class with a better understanding of crane operation, their capabilities, and job safety.”
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."
Instruction Built on Regulations and Standards
Training content is developed and delivered with direct reference to OSHA regulations and widely adopted industry standards. OSHA establishes enforceable regulations governing crane operation and qualification. At the same time, organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) publish consensus standards that inform best practices across lifting operations.
CICB instructors explain how these requirements apply in real operating environments, supporting compliance decisions that reduce regulatory exposure, equipment risk, and workplace incidents.
Subject Matter Experts With Practical Experience
Instruction is delivered by subject-matter experts who are certified in adult education and experienced in operating cranes, performing rigging, and conducting inspections. This practical background supports instruction grounded in real operating conditions rather than theory alone.
CICB maintains sufficient staff to separate instruction from exam proctoring when required, a capability many smaller providers cannot support.
