ACPA Certification is the only industry-recognized certification program which provides a written assessment of an operator’s knowledge regarding concrete pump safety.
The purpose of certification is to increase the safety awareness of concrete pump operators and to assist in an operator’s development and self-improvement. Certification thus permits concrete pump operators to raise the professional standards of the industry by maintaining and improving safe operation of concrete pumps.
Certification applies to individuals and is granted by the American Concrete Pumping Association to persons who have met the pre-determined qualifications established by the ACPA Certification Committee. This is a voluntary program and is open to any concrete pumper, whether or not his employer is a member of the American Concrete Pumping Association.
QUALIFICATIONS
The operator must possess a valid driver’s license or equivalent in the operator’s country of employment and have specified experience with the particular equipment for which the operator would be certified. It also requires the operator to pass an examination that tests knowledge of the equipment and its safe operation.
Successful operators receive a wallet-size certification card that designates them as an ACPA CERTIFIED CONCRETE PUMP OPERATOR.
Operators who do not have the required experience are encouraged to take the written test and will receive a ‘safety card’ that will be effective until they do have the required time.
