COURSE SUMMARY

This BEST Safety Training program meets the highest recognized safety standard for 0-8 tonne crane operation in both industrial (Broderson) and construction settings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

By the end of the theory portion of the program, operators will be able to understand:

• Relevant legislation
• Classes of Cranes
• Pre-operational inspection
• Rigging and slinging appropriate for application
• Moving the load while raised as well as stopping with a load
• Evaluation of what items may weigh and tools to help calculate
• Capacity and load charts of lifting devices
