Training Overview

Training Overview

Mobile cranes are critical assets in construction, industrial maintenance, logistics, and heavy lifting operations. However, without proper training and safety awareness, their use can lead to serious incidents, equipment damage, or costly project delays. The Mobile Crane Operation and Safety: Mastering Safe Lifting Practices training course is designed to empower operators, supervisors, and safety personnel with the knowledge and skills needed to carry out lifting operations safely and effectively. Participants will gain a deep understanding of crane components, lift planning, load chart utilization, rigging techniques, and safety protocols aligned with international standards such as OSHA and ISO.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the types and functions of mobile cranes and their operating mechanisms
  • Interpret load charts and apply lifting principles to avoid overloading and tipping
  • Conduct pre-operation inspections and routine maintenance checks
  • Apply industry-standard safety procedures for rigging, signaling, and communication
  • Recognize and respond to operational hazards and environmental risks
  • Perform lifting operations with precision, control, and compliance

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Mobile crane operators and assistants
  • Site engineers and lifting supervisors
  • Safety officers and HSE personnel
  • Rigging professionals and signalers
  • Maintenance and plant operations staff
  • Construction and industrial project managers

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
