O’Brien crane operator training provides hands-on training on the equipment you and your operators use every day. While some crane operator training programs may be generic or more academic or classroom-based, O’Brien’s training offers in-house training with small class sizes, practicing and demonstrating safe and efficient crane operator training on actual equipment in a “real life” environment.
Why is Crane Operator Training So Important?
Safety and compliance are two of the most important reasons to ensure your crane operators are up to date on their training.
Crane operation can be dangerous – both for the operator, and the people, products, and equipment around them. Accidents can cause costly damage – or worse – injury and loss of life. In many regions, crane operators are required to take specific training and gain certifications to operate their crane equipment.
O’Brien crane operator training focuses on safe and efficient crane operation, helping operators understand potential risks, and how to mitigate them.
Crane-Related Accidents, Injuries, and Deaths on the Rise
According to Crane and Hoist Canada, crane injuries and deaths occur in high numbers each year, and safety experts believe that most crane accidents are caused by human error. That’s why creating a culture of safety at your work site is critical.
Providing crane operators with proper safety training regarding Occupational Health & Safety standards can help them avoid accidents and injuries…as well as potential fines for non-compliance.
Other Benefits
In addition to improving safety and ensuring compliance with local regulations, the crane operator training can help your business:
- Operate more efficiently – qualified crane operators know how to use the crane efficiently, which can help them complete their work quicker, lowering overall costs.
- Improve equipment maintenance – O’Brien’s training covers basic inspection and maintenance, helping operators identify (and potentially fix) problems before they become costly issues. This helps prevent crane breakdown or failure, keeping your operations running smoothly.
- Enjoy a great reputation – investing in training demonstrates your company’s commitment to safety and quality. This can enhance your reputation with your clients, and improve your reputation as a top employer.
