Ensuring safety and reliability is key to any operating environment and making sure your operators understand what’s necessary to ensure safety requires training.

Training Objectives:

• To ensure that overhead crane and hoist operators have the knowledge and skills required to recognize equipment deficiencies when conducting required inspections during use.
• To ensure that all personnel who operate cranes and hoists understand their responsibilities for safe use, and they comply with all OSHA/CSA training requirements as a competent person.
