Crane Certification Marysville - The Crane Certification training program consists of subject matter suggested by industry concerning the efficient and safe operation of cranes. People training would know the following: pre-operational, operational and post operating requirements; how to identify cranes and their component parts; rigging components and inspection/rejection criteria; how to determine overall lift capacity; and requirements particular to the work place where the trainees will be operating.
The requirements that have to be performed prior to operating a crane like for example assigning authority for the pre-operational check; carrying out the sequential pre-operational check based on the specifications certified by a professional engineer or manufacturer's specifications; checking the log book for comments; checking the work place for obstacles and hazards; inspecting chains, cables, hooks crane movement and safety latches; making sure of the right functioning of operational controls; and knowing how to ensure the crane's disconnect switch/isolator is working correctly.
The requirements to operating a crane will consist of the identifying of responsibilities and roles, and the determination of the requirement for a formal lift plan. The person training will learn how to do danger assessments for the different environmental conditions, physical situations and employees. Subject matter consists of determining when to seek competent aid, the destination of loads and the safest route, and centre of gravity and load weight.
People training should be able to identify an over-capacity lift, in addition to be able to select appropriate rigging machinery, choose load restrictions, and to determine the safe position for the crane to operate from. Individuals training will review both site-specific and universal crane signals for lifts, and methods for traveling, lifting and loading. Correct maintenance habits will be covered.
The trainee would undergo an examination to test their knowledge of emergency response procedures for various situations, specifically electrical or mechanical failures. They would be asked to describe parking and shut down procedures for security and safety, to follow lock out and tagging techniques, and to explain why near misses are reported and recorded to the appropriate individual. Log book records must be maintained.
People training will develop knowledge of rigging, in particular, establishing who has authority and responsibility for rigging, identifying various kinds of rigging, knowing storage procedures and load capacity ratings.
Post-operational requirements consist of entering deficiencies or defects, maintenance and service history within the log book, according to state, provincial and federal codes requirements.
Site-specific needs can be included into the safety training program according to the employer's needs.
