The number one contributing factor of overhead crane accidents are operator errors. According to an analysis of 249 OSHA-reported crane accidents, over 70% could have been prevented by proper training. Therefore, there’s no question that overhead crane operator training is critical in order to prepare operators for the various challenges that may arise on any job site.
OSHA OVERHEAD CRANE OPERATOR TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
All overhead crane operators are required to thoroughly understand the proper operation, rigging, signaling and maintenance of overhead cranes. Per OSHA’s training requirements, overhead crane training should be obtained from qualified trainers. When choosing an overhead crane operator training program for your employees, be sure to select an organization with qualified trainers that meet OSHA and ASME requirements.
OSHA states that “Only designated personnel shall be permitted to operate a crane covered by this section” (1910.179(b)(8). This refers to operators who are certified to operate an overhead crane for the specific application.
