Seattle Crane Safety Training

Seattle Crane Safety Training - Companies and crane operators have to be aware of the problems associated to crane safety. Legislation provides regulations for the safe inspection, maintenance and operation of lifting machines all around North America. Crane Safety courses help crane owners and managers accredit their drivers based on the provincial legislation.

We have designed some training courses to equip operators with the skills and knowledge considered necessary in order to make crane lifting easier and safer. Training the driver helps to lengthen the life of cranes by ensuring safe operation and high performance of the crane.

Accredited operators are needed to operate and run articulated cranes under 16,000 lbs. capacity. The articulated crane driver needs to know concerning the various operational characteristics and features of the machinery. Prior to use, a pre-operational machine check must be performed. There is a legal requirement to do a pre-operational inspection as well as a check of the work-site ground and overhead conditions.

The directions provided in the manufacturer handbook gives information on maintenance, inspection, and unloading and loading operations. Based on legislation, annual and daily inspections are mandatory. Operators are needed to maintain an up-to-date logbook within nearly all places. They might be required to validate equipment warranties.

Adding remote control devices to the cranes is usually recommended. Remote control improves safety by allowing the driver an easier alternative for handling the crane.

Improving crane safety would normally help a company's bottom line. Such companies that follow safe machine practices will normally see bigger cost savings than businesses which don't. The risk of personal injury and machine damage is very much reduced if a well trained operator is handling the crane. Safety conscious operators are a lot more productive resulting in less times required for loading and unloading.
