Crane Safety: The Importance of a Competent, Qualified & Certified Operator
Crane Safety: The Importance of a Competent, Qualified & Certified Operator
Crane accidents can result in serious injuries and fatalities, property damage, project delays and significant financial losses. To reduce these risks, OSHA requires crane operators to be competent, qualified and certified by a nationally recognized certification organization. Employers are also responsible for ensuring operators have the knowledge, skills and experience needed for their planned lifts, particularly as crane types, configurations and jobsite conditions vary.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What employers are responsible for when preparing crane operators for certification
- Why certification alone does not ensure an operator is prepared for the equipment and work they are assigned
- How to identify and address gaps in operator knowledge, skills and experience
- What contractors should consider when seeking crane operator training, testing and certification
Join Ray Rice, NCCER Regional Business Development Manager, and David Applegate, Owner and Lead Consultant of Rig Tex Training and Consulting, LLC, as they discuss what contractors should consider when training, testing, qualifying and certifying crane operators, along with real-world experiences and lessons from the field.
