We offer safety training for overhead/bridge crane operators and riggers on a customized, onsite basis.  We start by talking to your supervisor, foreman, safety director or other key personnel to understand exactly what type of work you use your overhead crane for, and then we customize a one- to two-day training session that includes both classroom review and hands-on practice for safe operation of the crane and rigging of loads.  Typical topics include:

  • Operational modes and components
  • Emergency shut down procedures
  • Hazard inspection
  • Labeling requirements
  • Understanding and managing crane and load dynamics
  • Determining load weight
  • Rigging equipment inspection
  • Operating hoist, bridge and trolley safely
  • Rigging techniques
  • Standard signals for overhead cranes
  • Functions and limitations of crane components and attachments
