OVERHEAD TRAVELLING CRANE SUPERVISOR COURSE

This course was designed to provide Supervisors of Overhead Crane Operators with the minimum industry training requirements to ensure safe and efficient operations.

The course focuses on providing the foundation for due diligence and meeting compliance requirements of ISO-9000QA.

 

Prerequisite: Participants must successfully complete the OVERHEAD TRAVELING CRANE OPERATOR SAFETY COURSE prior to attending this supervisor course.

TRAIN-THE-TRAINER FOR OVERHEAD CRANE

Train-The-Trainer is a two day course that shows an instructor exactly how to teach the Overhead Crane Operator Course to in-house workers, as a cost-effective and convenient option for larger employers developing their own crane operator training programs.

This option is an advantage to companies that have multiple locations in different jurisdictions, enabling them to standardize their training and facilitate an auditing process. ACTi’s courses are written to meet compliance with CSA-B167 in Canada, and ASME-B30 in the United States, making the course valid across most of North America.

OVERHEAD CRANE OPERATOR WITH HOISTING, RIGGING & MATERIAL HANDLING

This is a twelve-hour course, usually taught over two days, in which participants are required to attend eight hours of classroom instruction and four hours of practical hands-on training with the crane.

The theory portion of the course begins on Day One, where participants learn the basic principles of operating an overhead crane, including:

  • Regional Health & Safety Regulations
  • Proper crane & rigging inspection
  • Full rigging instructions
  • How to complete safe working load calculations
  • How to make better rigging choices based on industry best practices

The practical evaluation begins on Day Two, consisting of real-world hands-on testing of the skills learned in the classroom. More than simply a “show-and-tell”, It is a very thorough evaluation and is the best way to determine if the participants comprehend what they learned in the theory portion.

Participants must be able to perform all the functions of the Operator, Rigging Person and Signaller. They must also perform a simple lift plan, including a visual crane inspection.

 

 

Participants will practice operational requirements, such as:

  • Choosing appropriate rigging
  • Properly rigging the load
  • Safe working load calculations
  • Inspection rejection criteria
  • Hand signals
