Crane and Derrick Safety

This course provides essential safety training for personnel working near or assisting with crane and derrick operations. Participants will learn how to identify catastrophic hazards such as structural failures, dropped loads, and power line contact. The curriculum covers the critical importance of understanding load capacities, adhering to safe rigging practices, establishing swing radius barricades, and maintaining strict clearance distances from overhead electrical lines. Additionally, the training emphasizes the vital role of clear, standardized communication—including designated hand signals—between the equipment operator and ground personnel to ensure safe lifting operations.
