Nanaimo Crane Safety Training - Companies and crane operators need to know the issues related to crane safety. Legislation provides rules for the safe maintenance, operation and inspection of lifting equipment across North America.

Our operator safety training course will provide the crane driver trainee with all the essential knowledge and skills to be able to make lifting with a crane safer and easier. Operator training helps to extend the life of cranes by ensuring high performance and safe operation of the crane.

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

The manufacturer's guidelines provide information concerning inspection and maintenance, unloading and loading of the crane. The law requires annual and daily inspections. Drivers should maintain an up-to-date logbook within nearly all regions. They may be required to certify machine warranties.

Adding remote control devices to the cranes is often recommended. Remote control enhances safety by enabling the operator an easier option for handling the crane.

Improving crane safety would normally help a company's bottom line. Those businesses that follow safe equipment practices would usually see greater cost savings than businesses that don't. The chance of equipment damage and personal injury is greatly reduced when a driver who is well-trained is handling the crane. Safety conscious drivers are more productive leading to less times required for unloading and loading.
