Pumpcrete is proud to have the first licensed concrete pump operators in North America and possibly Worldwide. This has been a long process which I have lobbied for, for the past 15 years. It's wonderful that our trade finally has licensed jouneypersons. Licensed by the Ontario College of Trades in Canada

sorry todd we have had them in uk since, late 80,s

Boom operators in Australia have been licensed for many years.

However, it will not be a blessing but will force up pay demands as licensed operators will have the owners

held by the "family jewels"

have one myself since 8 years pumping for 22 years..

I see. I completely misunderstood this earlier post. I also have this ''license'' To be honnest the one i got was a bit of a joke. We had to explain the teacher how it realy worked. I though this post was about it being mandetory nation wide to have a propper education and license to run a pump. Just like it is for running a crane or almost any kind of heavy equipment. But sadly it isn't.

DIGGER: So  anyone that has a mandetory education for his proffesion has his boss by the ''family jewels''? Crane drivers- truck drivers- pilots- firemen- police- dokters- the list goes on for ever...   How can any operator with selfrespect be happy about the fact that any dumbass is alowed to drive a pump?
