Prince George Crane Safety Training - Both crane operator and their supervisors should know all the potential problems connected to the operation of an overhead crane. All across North America, there is legislation that provides regulation for the safe maintenance, operation and inspection of lifting machines. Crane Safety courses really help crane managers and owners accredit their drivers based on the provincial legislation.

We have designed several training courses to equip operators with the skills and knowledge considered necessary to make crane lifting safer and easier. Training the driver helps to extend the life of cranes by ensuring safe operation and high performance of the crane.

Operators who are accredited are required to run and operate articulated cranes under 16,000 lbs. capacity. The articulated crane operator needs to have knowledge concerning the many operational characteristics and features of the machinery. Prior to use, a pre-operational machine check must be performed. There is a legal prerequisite to perform a pre-operational inspection as well as a check of the overhead conditions and work-site ground.

The manufacturer's instructions provide information regarding maintenance and inspection, unloading and loading of the crane. The law requires daily and annual inspections. Drivers need to maintain an up-to-date logbook within most places. They might be needed to validate machine warranties.

It is recommended that businesses include remote control devices to their cranes. Remote control enhances safety by enabling the operator an easier alternative for handling the crane.

Prioritizing crane safety helps a company's bottom line. Businesses that follow safe machine practices usually enjoy greater cost savings than those which don't. The possibility of machine damage and personal injury is greatly lessened if a driver who is well-trained is handling the crane. Safety conscious drivers are a lot more productive leading to reduced times needed for loading and unloading.
