COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course
includes practical sessions and
demonstration for inspection and
operations of crane equipment. Theory
learnt in the class will be applied using
crane and various lifting equipment through
hands-on practical sessions.
Crane accidents cause workplace injuries to
crane operators, workers on the job site, and
even the people nearby. Majority of crane
accidents are caused by human errors, which
may result in safety risk and uncontrollable
downtime of the cranes. The accidents can be
minimized or prevented through proper training
and crane usage.
Periodic crane inspection is very vital program
to the crane owners for the safe working of the
crane and to increase productivity. The
effective crane inspection program will increase
productivity by reducing downtime due to
unexpected breakdown, reduce insurance cost,
and assist in quick acceptance by major
construction sites and associations and major
contractors.
This course will promote safety and health of persons in the workplace and of the public,
comply with occupational health and safety legislations, limit the potential damage to
property, reduce or eliminate risk associated with the crane operations, determine the
condition of the crane parts, detect potential failures at early stages, reduce the risk of
injury by potential failure and increase the crane life. The course ensures that the crane
is in a safe condition and it can continue to be used for a specified period into the future.
Further, the course will discuss crane safety management system, crane selection,
operational procedures and practices, crane inspection and operations and performance
monitoring tools.
