Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau, Orlando, Fla., formed a training alliance with Bishop Lifting Products Inc., Houston, Texas, to provide scheduled training courses in Houston and on-site training courses at customers' facilities. CICB has moved its Houston-based training center to the Bishop Lifting Products facility.
Scheduled courses will be offered at the BLP facility and will be taught by CICB instructors. Material handling and lifting training courses will be available for operators, riggers, inspectors, safety management teams and trainers. NCCCO preparatory training with written and practical examinations will also be offered in Houston. All courses scheduled at the training center, including the NCCCO training and testing program, are also available for on-site training programs at the customers' facilities. CICB and BLP will also offer third-party equipment inspections.
