Prince Albert Crane Safety Training

Prince Albert Crane Safety Training - Both crane driver as well as their employers should know all the possible issues associated to the use of an overhead crane. All over North America, there is legislation that provides regulation for the safe operation, inspection and maintenance of lifting machinery. Crane Safety courses help owners and managers of cranes accredit their drivers based on the provincial legislation.

We have designed some training courses to be able to equip drivers with the knowledge and skills considered necessary to make crane lifting safer and easier. Operator training really helps to extend the crane's life span by ensuring safe operation and high performance of the crane.

Articulated cranes under 16,000 lbs. capacity can only be operated by operators who are accredited. Operators should be knowledgeable about the features and operational characteristics of the equipment. Before use, a pre-operational machine check should be performed. There is a legal requirement to perform a pre-operational inspection as well as a check of the work-site ground and overhead conditions.

The manufacturer's instructions provide information concerning inspection and maintenance, loading and unloading of the crane. The law requires annual and daily checks. Drivers are needed to maintain an up-to-date logbook in most regions. They might be needed to validate equipment warranties.

It is recommended that businesses add remote control devices to their cranes. Remote control enhances safety by allowing the operator an easier option for handling the crane.

Placing a high priority on crane safety helps a company's bottom line. Businesses which follow safe machine practices usually enjoy greater cost savings compared to those which don't. The risk of machine damage and personal injury is really reduced when a driver who is well-trained is handling the crane. Safety conscious operators are more productive resulting in less times required for unloading and loading.
