Grande Prairie Crane Safety Training

Grande Prairie Crane Safety Training - Businesses and crane operators need to know the issues related to crane safety. Legislation provides rules for the safe inspection, maintenance and operation of lifting machines across North America. Crane Safety courses help managers and owners of cranes accredit their drivers based on the provincial legislation.

We have designed some training courses to equip operators with all the knowledge and skills considered necessary in order to make crane lifting safer and easier. Operator training helps to lengthen the crane's life span by ensuring crane's high performance and safe operation.

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

The manufacturer's directions provide information regarding maintenance and inspection, loading and unloading of the crane. The law requires annual and daily inspections. Drivers should maintain an up-to-date logbook in nearly all regions. They may be needed to confirm machine warranties.

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

Placing a high priority on crane safety helps a company's bottom line. Companies which follow safe equipment practices generally enjoy greater cost savings than those that don't. The chance of equipment damage and personal injury is very much reduced if a well trained driver is handling the crane. Safety conscious operators are more productive resulting in less times needed for loading and unloading.
