Establishing Safety in a Hazardous Environment

Material lifting operations carry significant occupational risks. Proper safety training is essential so crane operators and riggers can make it home to their families. This commitment to safety starts at the top.

Frontline managers play a crucial role in maintaining crane and rigging operational safety. They are responsible for overseeing the work of the teams they manage, and their knowledge and expertise directly impact the safety and success of their operations.

What Managers Must Know When Leading Crane & Rigging Operations

Supervisors should be familiar with all the roles and responsibilities involved in lifting operations, the difference between qualification and certification, selection of crane type and rigging hardware, site preparation and planning, inspection and maintenance schedules, and the regulatory requirements affecting their operation.

Safety training helps managers better understand these concepts and the capabilities and limitations of the crews and equipment they manage. They then emphasize these safe work practices to their employees, boost operational efficiency, and increase workplace morale.
