The document discusses crane operator qualifications and classifications for mobile and tower cranes in Ontario. It describes the different types of mobile cranes including track cranes with telescopic or lattice booms, rough terrain cranes, all terrain cranes, and carry deck cranes. The roles and responsibilities of supervisors in crane operations are also outlined, including hiring operators, reviews, tailboard meetings, logistics, and assisting with critical lifts. The conclusion emphasizes that crane operations require responsibility from operators and a team effort through meetings and assessments to ensure safety.

1. Crane operations

2. Operators qualifications
Generally crane operators fall into two categories
namely Mobile and/or Tower cranes
 In Ontario Mobile cranes have two Branches namely
(Branch 1- 339A and 2 - 339C)
 or Tower Crane Operators (339B - Branch 3)

3. Mobile Cranes
 Mobile cranes also have numerous classifications and
for this presentation the following slides will identify
each one that is most common in Alberta.

1- Track crane with telescopic boom
2- Track crane with lattice boom
3- Rough terrain crane (RT)
4- All terrain crane (AT)
5- Carry deck crane

16. Supervisors
 Supervisors roles play an important part in crane
operations and duties
1- Hire crane operators
2- Conduct crane operators reviews
3- Tailboard meetings
4- Logistics and safety operations
5- Assist in critical lifts operations
6- Administration

17. Conclusion
Much responsibility rests on the shoulders of crane
operators and most of the time there are no problems
with the operators ability to operate cranes. There are a
lot of safety factors and considerations when crane
operators are new to a site and have many lifting
situations to assess. Working as a team and
cooperation from each workers on site through
tailboard meetings and JHA’s is important to conduct
safe crane operations.
