Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and demonstration for inspection and operations of crane equipment. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using crane and various lifting equipment through hands-on practical sessions. Crane accidents cause workplace injuries to crane operators, workers on the job site, and even the people nearby. Majority of crane accidents are caused by human errors, which may result in safety risk and uncontrollable downtime of the cranes. The accidents can be minimized or prevented through proper training and crane usage. Periodic crane inspection is very vital program to the crane owners for the safe working of the crane and to increase productivity. The effective crane inspection program will increase productivity by reducing downtime due to unexpected breakdown, reduce insurance cost, and assist in quick acceptance by major construction sites and associations and major contractors.This course will promote safety and health of persons in the workplace and of the public, comply with occupational health and safety legislations, limit the potential damage to property, reduce or eliminate risk associated with the crane operations, determine the condition of the crane parts, detect potential failures at early stages, reduce the risk of injury by potential failure and increase the crane life. The course ensures that the crane is in a safe condition and it can continue to be used for a specified period into the future. Further, the course will discuss crane safety management system, crane selection, operational procedures and practices, crane inspection and operations and performance monitoring tools
