Managers of the International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) 2011 show have just added a "lineman’s demo" from the Kentucky Lineman Training Center to the show’s list of safety-education features. They have also revealed the activities planned for the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators’ (NCCCO) 10,000-square-foot booth at the show.
The ICUEE will be held October 4-6, 2011, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky.
In the newly added "lineman’s demo," scheduled for October 6, students from the Lineman Training Center at Somerset Community College, Somerset, Ky., will demonstrate safety procedures and discuss the training center, which prepares apprentice-level students for electrical industry employment.
The new Lift Safety Zone from the NCCCO will focus on the group’s yet-to-be-released digger derrick operator practical exam and existing articulating crane operator and rigger practical exams.
The NCCCO Lift Safety Zone will have a focus on training. NCCCO is dedicated to promoting safer working practices for those who work with and around cranes and related equipment. In addition to the practical exam demonstrations for riggers and digger derrick and articulating crane operators, NCCCO will provide details about all its certification programs for mobile, tower, overhead and articulating crane operators, signalpersons, and riggers.
NCCCO will also offer written and recertification exams for those seeking to become certified or renew their certifications.
The iP Safety Arena at ICUEE 2011 will offer four safety demonstrations related to the co-located iP Safety Conference and Expo: Excavation Training, helping attendees gain a greater understanding of hazardous conditions working below ground and in confined spaces; Live-Line Demonstration, highlighting the dangers of working with high voltages; Chain Saw Safety, demonstrating safety and applications, including importance of proper PPE, reactive forces and hazard recognition, plus pole saw techniques and new innovations; and Fall Protection, featuring climbing products in action with the opportunity to ask questions for safety solutions.
Lift & Access is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
