Toronto Crane Operator Classes

Toronto Crane Operator Classes - For the supervisors and the operators, current and new, the crane operator training course is suitable for all. Course content deals with applicable provincial, state and federal safety regulations. The training's first component involves complete in-class instruction and test. After that is a customized hands-on session together with practical instruction and assessment.

The content of the course applies to all types and categories of overhead lifting crane devices. The instruction will specifically focus on all aspects of crane operation that can be done at the trainee's workplace. Upon finishing the course, trainees will learn how to operate specific overhead lifting devices, attachments and related components efficiently and safely.

The purpose of the operator course is to identify any potentially dangerous habits that an operator might develop while operating an overhead crane. Costly damage to equipment and products can be avoided with right habits. Training reduces the likelihood of a workplace injury or incident taking place.

The course would encompass roughly eight hours of classroom instruction with a couple of hours of customized, on-site, hands-on training. Participants would be graded on their understanding of training material through an evaluation of their practical knowledge and written testing. The minimum acceptable score is eighty percent.

During the in-class session, participants would learn applicable causes of damages and occurrences, guidelines and legislation, danger awareness, internal responsibility, capacity ratings/load weight calculations, design principles and basic equipment, pre-shift equipment checks, safe hoisting/operating techniques, equipment applications/rigging, kinds of hardware, pedestrian/operator safety, angles and hitches, turning/flipping loads safely, hand signals for operators and slingers.

The customized practical training and evaluation session should be pre-scheduled. It would be held at the trainees' facility after completion of the in-class session. The duration of this practical training component is one to two hours. Two operators at a time will be trained by the instructor about skills like for instance safe operation, planning the lift and proper rigging practices.

After finishing both the practical training and evaluation and the in-class instruction, the trainee would be tested via an exam. Each and every participant will be required to sign the safety rules. Individual wallet certificates would be given to trainees who are successful. The company will be given a framed wall certificate.
