OPITO Offshore Crane Operator (OCO) Standards

OPITO has completed its development of the OPITO Offshore Crane Operator standards; these have been published and will soon be available from the OPITO Standards Library at opito.com/uk/library/standards-library.html The matrix (Appendix 1) and flow diagram (Appendix 2) included below offer an overview of how the standards will operate. Please note that there are a total of three stages (1, 2, and 3), and four (4) underpinning standards:
  1. OCO Stage 1 (Introductory) Training
  2. OCO Stage 2 Training
  3. OCO Stage 2 Competence Assessment
  4. OCO Stage 3 Competence Assessment
IMCA intends to carry out a gap analysis of the new OPITO standards against the existing Norwegian crane standards; this will be developed in due course and published separately. If you have any comments or questions please contact Neil Evans.
