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.

1. How big is the primary danger zone?
2. What does one cubic foot of steel weigh and how can one determine the correct loading for an overhead crane?
3. What is the defined purpose of the hoist hook safety latch?
4. What is the accepted grade of a sling chain?
5. What is the minimum safe sling leg angle to use as a standard practice?
6. How does the angle affect the capacity of a sling?
7. What is resultant sling angle and why is it a killer?
8. How does an operator gain control of a swinging load?
9. What is the difference between a cable and a wire rope?
10. Are homemade lifting devices legal and what information is required on all below the hook devices?
11. What factor is used to de-rate the capacity of an eyebolt, when the eyebolt is being used horizontally?
12. What OHSA-required safety precautions must be taken before working on a crane

We review actual lifting practices that we are shown and provide recommended procedures for review by your safety committee. The Crane Training Canada Training manual provided, will become a resource and reference manual for the operators long after the course is over.
