Canadian Crane Operators Safety Courses

As you are aware, crane training is part of the requirement for applicable ISO certification.

During the training session, we review specific procedures that are part of the everyday work, performed by the attendees.

We bring critical parts to the classroom, some of them new and some abused for each of the attendees to handle.

We have videos that demonstrate graphically the correct procedures and results when they are not applied.

Our crane operator training program is designed to determine the safest and most productive methods to accomplish the specific tasks that are required by the company.

The inspection and operating procedures that we teach are focused on all aspects of proper operation, including rigging and slinging.

We advise on the implementation of proper overhead material handling procedures that will increase the life of equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
