Crane Safety: Orientation

Cranes are a critical piece of equipment and you will rarely see a construction site without one. Cranes allow for the lifting and transporting of goods and materials which are otherwise impossible to lift. There are many different types of cranes and although they all operate in the same basic way, there are different types for different types of environments and materials. Although invaluable to most work sites, cranes can also be dangerous and deadly. Working safely requires you to know about the different types of cranes, how they operate, and how accidents happen. This course covers the OSHA compliance for an introduction to crane safety, OSHA requirements, inspections and handling and material handling.
