Crane Safety Training BC - Companies and crane operators need to be aware of the problems connected to crane safety. Legislation provides regulations for the safe operation, inspection and maintenance of lifting equipment all over North America. Crane Safety courses help managers and owners of cranes accredit their operators in accordance with provincial legislation.
We have designed several training courses to be able to equip drivers with all the knowledge and skills required in order to make crane lifting easier and safer. Operator training helps to lengthen the life of cranes by ensuring safe operation and high performance of the crane.
Accredited operators are required to run and operate articulated cranes under 16,000 lbs. capacity. The articulated crane operator needs to know about the various operational characteristics and features of the machine. Before use, a pre-operational machine check has to be carried out. There is a legal prerequisite to do a pre-operational check as well as a check of the overhead conditions and work-site ground.
The instructions provided in the manufacturer manual gives information on inspection, maintenance, and loading and unloading operations. Based on legislation, daily and annual checks are mandatory. Drivers should maintain an up-to-date logbook in nearly all places. They may be needed to confirm machine warranties.
Adding remote control devices to the cranes is normally recommended. Remote control enhances safety by enabling the driver an easier alternative for handling the crane.
Prioritizing crane safety helps a company's bottom line. Businesses that follow safe equipment practices usually enjoy bigger cost savings than those that don't. The possibility of personal injury and equipment damage is very much reduced if a well trained operator is handling the crane. Safety conscious operators are a lot more productive resulting in less times required for unloading and loading.
