Crane-Overhead

Overview

The Overhead Crane course is designed to upgrade material-handling practices within your company by teaching the basics of safe crane and sling operation to increase productivity and efficiency, while reducing the risk of product damage, property damage, and accidents. This will assist you in meeting OSHA requirements described in 29 CFR 1910.179 for Overhead & Gantry Cranes.

There are two parts to this overhead crane safety program: (1) a 2hr classroom session and (2) an operator evaluation where your employees can demonstrate their ability to operate the company equipment safely and efficiently.
