12 Essential Things Crane Operators Should Know!
At the end of the Crane Training Canada crane training program, your crane operators will be able to answer these 12 important questions:
How big is the primary danger zone? - What does one cubic foot of steel weigh and how can one determine the correct loading for an overhead crane?
- What is the defined purpose of the hoist hook safety latch?
- What is the accepted grade of a sling chain?
- What is the minimum safe sling leg angle to use as a standard practice?
- How does the angle affect the capacity of a sling?
- What is resultant sling angle and why is it a killer?
- How does an operator gain control of a swinging load?
- What is the difference between a cable and a wire rope?
- Are homemade lifting devices legal and what information is required on all below the hook devices?
- What factor is used to de-rate the capacity of an eyebolt, when the eyebolt is being used horizontally?
- What OHSA-required safety precautions must be taken before working on a crane
If the crane operators in your company cannot answer these questions, perhaps it is time for a review of procedures.
