Offshore Crane Operator Stage 2

Description

The goal and objectives of the approved OCO Stage 2 competence reassessment are to confirm that the candidate has maintained the necessary competence, knowledge, and skills for the OCO Stage 2 position.

Note: Duty holders of fixed structures, floating structures, or vessels must ensure that Stage 2 OCOs are sufficiently familiarized with the specific type of offshore crane they will operate before conducting lifting operations.

B.1 OCO Stage 2 Competence Reassessment Target Group
The OCO Stage 2 Competence Reassessment is for personnel who wish to revalidate their certified OCO Stage 2 offshore crane operator competence certificate, or experienced Stage 2 offshore crane operators seeking to gain Stage 2 certification.

B.2 OCO Stage 2 Competence Reassessment Candidate Prerequisites
Candidates for the OCO Stage 2 Competence Reassessment must hold a valid, approved OCO Stage 2 Offshore Crane Operator Competence Certificate or a valid OCO Stage 2 non-certificate.
