Introduction:

This interactive crane safety course is intended to remind participants that human error causes over 90% of crane-related accidents and they are the key to preventing these incidents.

While cranes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they all have the ability to make many jobs much easier by lifting massive amounts of weight. However, when they are not operated safely, they both have the potential for disaster. Because of the cumbersome and heavy loads that are lifted, crane-related accidents are frequently fatal. A small blunder or a brief lapse in concentration could result in tragedy. There is little that can be done to stop a load from falling, and there is little time for people to safely move out of the way. A co-worker could be hurt or killed, and valuable equipment or materials, including the crane, could be damaged or destroyed.

Learning Outcomes of Crane Operator training

Areas covered in the program include physical and mental preparation, equipment inspection, hazard assessment, boom cranes, jib cranes, overhead cranes, general and operational safety devices, crane operations, hand signals, and more. Also, participants would be familiarized with:

Who can take the Crane Operator training?

A crane operator has many responsibilities and plays an integral part in the safety of a job site where cranes are in operation.

This Crane Operator course has been developed for those workers tasked with crane operation, and covers the knowledge needed by a worker to safely operate a variety of different crane types, including overhead, mobile, tower, and articulating cranes.

Benefits of Crane Operator training

This training program helps crane operator as well as the entire lifting team understand many facets of a crane work and the safety requirements at work site. Also, it focuses on the roles and responsibilities of each of the different worker that make up a crane operation safe.
