Crane Operator
Training
Cranes
 The Crane Operator is responsible for the safe operation of
the crane and he must be certified to drive the specific model
of crane being used
 The Crane Operator is responsible for ensuring that all safety
devices fitted are operational.
 The Crane Operator must ensure clear and agreed
communication methods with the banksman before the lift
commences.
 The Crane Operator must ensure that the Crane and ANY
lifting equipment or accessories have been inspected and are
fit for use
 Contact with power lines
 Overloading
 Ground Conditions
 Mechanical failures
 Structural Failure
Instability – unsecured load, load capacity
exceeded, or ground not level or too soft
Lack of communication - the point of operation
is a distance from the crane operator or not in
full view of the operator
Lack of training
Inadequate maintenance or inspection

 Level the crane and ensure support surface is firm and able to
support the load
 Contact power line owners and determine precautions. Know the
location and voltage of overhead power lines.
 Know the basic crane capacities, limitations, and job site
restrictions, such as the location of power lines, unstable soil, or
high winds.
 Make other personnel aware of hoisting activities.
 Barricade areas within swing radius.
 Ensure proper maintenance and inspections.
 Determine safe areas to store materials and place machinery.
 Review the site for
possible hazards:
◦ Overhead lines
◦ Unstable soil
◦ High wind
conditions
◦ Other work
activities in
the area
 Characteristics of the load:
◦ Hazardous or toxic
materials
◦ Weight
◦ Dimensions
◦ Center of gravity
 Rigging sketches and information:
◦ Lift points
◦ Methods of attachment
◦ Sling angles
◦ Load vectors
 Rigging sketches and information:
◦ Boom and swing angles
◦ Crane orientations
◦ Rated capacities
◦ Other factors affecting equipment operation
 Operating procedures:
◦ Step-by-step instructions
◦ Applicable rigging precautions
◦ Safety measures
◦ Emergency procedures
 Always follow the manufacturer’s specifications & limitations
 When specifications are not available, they must be determined by a
qualified engineer
 Rated load capacities, recommended operating speeds and special
hazard warnings must be posted on equipment and within operator
view
 Ensure that cabs contain a 5BC fire extinguisher
 Cab windows must be free of defects
 Belts, gears and pulleys must be guarded from employee contact
 Keep employees clear of hoisted and suspended loads
 The swing radius of the crane must be barricaded to protect
employees
 Use only ANSI prescribed hand signals and keep posted at the
jobsite
 Daily – by operator before each use
 Monthly – by a competent person (more mechanically oriented)
 Annually – by qualified or third party person
Inspections must be written and kept on site!
 Only people that have trained
are permitted to operate cranes
 Before lifting carefully inspect all
rigging, slings, hooks, etc.
 Report any damage or defects to
your supervisor right away.
 Slinging is a means of attaching lifting accessories such as man made
slings, shackles etc. to a load in preparation for its movement via a lifting
appliance such as a crane.
 Before we sling a load it is imperative that we establish the following:
 Weight of the load and
the effects of angles on the WLL
 Centre of Gravity
 Lifting Capacity
 Safe Working Load
Lifting Operations Knowledge -
Presentation V3_0 32
 Riggers need to be aware of slinging angles as these dramatically affect the
lifting capacity of slings
 A slinging angle is measured between one sling leg to the other

Recommended Safe Work Practice: Affected Zone
Working Near Excavations
 Keep out from under
suspended loads.
 Watch out for materials
that could fall on you if hit
by the moving load.
The stresses in the legs of a sling increases as the angle between them
increases.
Using the human body and two buckets of water it is not difficult to demonstrate
the effects of a lifting a load at narrow and wide angles

THE SWL LOAD OF A PAIR OF SINGLE SLINGS DECREASES AS THE ANGLE
BETWEEN THEM INCREASES AS SHOWN IN THE ABOVE DIAGRAM.
NEVER EXCEED A SLINGING ANGLE OF 900!

Competent Person
The competent person must inspect
all machinery and equipment prior to
each use, and during use, to make
sure it is in safe operating condition.
If it needs fixing, take it out of
service and don’t use it until it is
fixed Broken
Track
Load Charts
Improper Load
Improper Load
Stay clear from power
lines at least 10 feet
Power Lines
Hand Signals
Guard Moving Parts
Unguarded
Chain Drive
Guard moving parts such as gears or belts
Swing Radius
Stay out of the swing radius of the crane –
Make sure there are barrier guards showing swing radius
Operator Visibility
Broken Window
Make sure broken windows or other obstructions do not prevent the
operator from seeing
Ladders
Ladder
Use ladders to get to the upper portion of the cab
Guardrails
Runways and steps need to have guardrails,
handholds and slip resistant surfaces
Boom Angle Indicator
A boom angle indicator must be on the crane
Supporting Surface
Cranes must be on a firm supporting
surface and level within 1 percent
The grooves must be smooth and free from surface
defects which could cause rope damage
Sheaves
Worn Part
Conduct regular
inspections
of tires for excessive
wear or damage
