Rules for Evansville and Across the River

IOSHA on the Indiana side

Indiana's State Plan enforces crane safety in Evansville, matching or exceeding federal Subpart CC.

Kentucky has its own plan

Jobs across the river fall under Kentucky's program. Your national certification travels with you either way.

Barges and vessels

Cranes on barges or used in marine work may involve additional OSHA maritime provisions. Ask your employer which apply.

Confirm current rules with IOSHA, Kentucky OSH and your certifying body.

Getting Certified in the Tri-State

  1. Confirm the credential

    Most river and plant employers name NCCCO, but ask first.

  2. Study online

    Lessons and practice tests cover the same topics as the official written exam.

  3. Test in the region

    Book a proctored written exam in Evansville or a nearby city.

  4. Pass the practical

    Review our practical test checklist before your hands-on exam.

The Card Is What Employers Check

Hiring managers on Evansville's docks and plants ask to see a valid certification card. Whether you prepared in a classroom or online never appears on it.

What online study changes is flexibility: river and plant schedules are unpredictable, and self-paced lessons let you study whenever there's time.
