Program Overview<\/h2>\n

The CCO Assembly\/Diassembly Director certification is a nationally recognized program for professionals who oversee the safe assembly and
disassembly of cranes. Specialty certifications are available for each: A\/D Director Mobile (ADM) and A\/D Director Tower (ADT).<\/p>\n

Who Is an Assembly\/Disassembly Director?<\/h3>\n

An Assembly\/Disassembly Director plans and supervises crane assembly and disassembly, directs crews, coordinates resources and ensures compliance with safety procedures. Certified directors understand crane and assist-equipment limitations, rigging procedures and the requirements necessary to complete the work safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n
