Sir:
Your Committee on Labor, Culture and the Arts, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 714, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of:
Hoisting Machine
Operators Advisory Board
G.M. No. 714 |
JACHRYSTAL FIERO, for a term to expire 06-30-2024, |
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Jachrystal Fiero for service on the Hoisting Machine Operators Advisory Board (Board).
Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Mr. Fiero from five individuals.
Your Committee finds that the Board was created in 1998 pursuant to section 396-19, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to adopt administrative rules for the certification of hoisting machine operators in Hawaii. The Board is charged with the responsibility to establish minimum standards to assure that construction tower and crane operators across the islands operate hoisting machines in a uniformly safe and lawful manner.
Upon review of the testimony and Mr. Fiero's qualifications, your Committee finds that Mr. Fiero's thirty years of professional experience and background in the crane and rigging industry qualify him to be nominated for appointment to the Board. Mr. Fiero has been a certified crane operator for twenty-five years and holds a commercial driver's license. Mr. Fiero is currently the owner and operator of Haku Crane & Rigging, LLC, a company he founded in 1997, that offers operated and bare rental boom truck service and rough terrain, hydraulic truck crane, heavy duty flatbed and forklift service. As the owner and operator, Mr. Fiero's duties include overseeing project execution, phase progress, workmanship and team performance to achieve timely completion of service work; assessing, optimizing, and elevating operations to meet current and expected demands; and enhancing operational performance by developing effective business strategies, systems, and procedures. Prior to establishing Haku Crane & Rigging, LLC, Mr. Fiero was employed as a mobile crane operator with Tow Board Services & Management, Inc. from 1990 to 1996. As a mobile crane operator, Mr. Fiero's duties included the operation of various service cranes, barges, hammers, workboats, crane mounts and external hire service cranes; streamlining of operational efficiencies for the safe operation of mobile hydraulic cranes and barge cranes; and inspections of boom trucks and cranes to reduce hazards and risks.
Your Committee believes that Jachrystal Fiero's extensive knowledge and experience in the crane and rigging industry will be valuable assets to the Board.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor, Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor, Culture and the Arts,
