An Overhead crane is a machine that allows you to lift a piece of material or goods and move it from one location to another, using precise motion without the need to maneuver around. These are commonly used in factories, warehouses, shipyards, etc., to facilitate the lifting and movement of heavy objects within the area covered by the crane’s area of operation. Three primary types of cranes are used in industrial settings- Bridge Cranes, Gantry Cranes and Jib Cranes.

These machines are massive and can cause considerable damage if mishandled or used negligently. Therefore, the operators must be aware of the hazards arising from unsafe practices. Overhead Crane Training Program helps them learn proper crane and load handling procedures and preventive measures to maximize workplace safety. This CSA and OSHA-approved course covers industry-standard information and enables the workers to become certified Overhead Crane Operators. Organizations that impose training mandates at their facilities experience reduced downtime, higher job satisfaction, protection from liability-inducing lawsuits and effective prevention of workplace accidents.
