Crane Certification Burlington

Crane Certification Burlington - The Crane Certification training program includes content recommended by industry regarding the efficient and safe operation of cranes. Trainees would learn the following: how to identify cranes and their component parts; pre-operational, operational and post-operating requirements; how to determine overall lift capacity; rigging components and inspection/rejection criteria; and requirements particular to the work place where the trainees will be operating.

The requirements which must be carried out prior to operating a crane includes assigning authority for the pre-operational check; doing the sequential pre-operational check based on the manufacturer's specifications or specifications certified by a professional engineer; checking the log book for comments; inspecting the work area for obstacles and hazards; checking cables, hooks, chains crane movement and safety latches; making sure of the correct functioning of operational controls; and learning how to ensure the disconnect switch/isolator of the crane is properly working.

Operational requirements comprise identifying responsibilities and roles, and determining the requirement for a formal lift plan. Individuals training will be taught how to carry out a hazard assessment associated to environmental situations, physical circumstances and workers. Subject matter comprises determining when to seek competent support, the destination of loads and the safest route, and load weight and centre of gravity.

It is essential for people training to be able to identify an over-capacity lift, select appropriate rigging equipment, know load limits, and determine a safe site from which to work. Trainees would review both universal and site-specific crane signals for lifts, and techniques for traveling, lifting and loading. Proper maintenance practice will be covered.

The person training will undergo an examination to test their understanding of emergency response procedures for different scenarios, specially mechanical or electrical failures. They would be asked to describe shut down and parking procedures for security and safety, to follow tagging and lock out procedures, and to explain why near misses are reported and recorded to the appropriate individual. Log book records need to be maintained.

Individuals training would develop knowledge of rigging, particularly, establishing who has responsibility and authority for rigging, identifying various kinds of rigging, knowing storage procedures and load capacity ratings.

Post-operational requirements comprise entering defects or deficiencies, maintenance and service history within the log book, based on provincial, federal and state codes requirements.

Site-specific needs could be incorporated into the safety training program according to the employer's needs.
