Mobile Crane Operator Assessment Course
Lifting Operations & Cargo Handling
Mobile Crane Operator Assessment Course
Introduction:
This course is designed for construction site and industrial yards’ operators who utilize different types of cranes in building, civil engineering and mechanical activities. This Course will be useful for construction employers as it enables them to fulfill training obligations set by the Ministry of Labour. The course has been produced to applicable International Standards (BS, OSHA etc.), Regulations (LOLER, PUWER ETC.) and Local Legislation reflecting construction Industry and oil & gas (offshore/onshore) best practices.
Benefits of the Course:
After completing the training successfully, the delegates will be able to acquire the following practical knowledge & skills; Understanding of the different types of lifting appliances & lifting accessories (loose gear), SWL, WLL, required PPEs, load weight calculation, center of gravity, lifting point, lifting gears selection, inspection, types of hitches, sling angle, lifting area safety checks, rigging good & bad practices. A knowledge of different types of cranes, general maintenance, crane operator manual and logbook, limit switches, load indicator, capacity chart and range diagram.
There are a number of risks associated with the use of cranes throughout its life cycle from its arrival on site, during the erection of the crane, during use and then finally when it is being dismantled or removed from site. Moving large, heavy loads is crucial to today’s manufacturing and construction industries. Much technology has been developed for these operations, including careful training and extensive workplace precautions. There are significant safety issues to be considered, both for the operators of the diverse “lifting” devices, and for workers in proximity to them. This course is a starting point for finding information about these devices and their operation.
