overhead crane operator training
You take safety seriously. We do too.
The majority of crane accidents are caused by human error which may result in safety risks and uncontrollable downtime. With regular inspections, crane operators can spot potential problems allowing you to perform repairs to prevent injury and costly service interruptions.
Riekes offers training for users that include what operators need to identify critical crane components that are subject to daily wear and damage.
In addition, according to OSHA, "Operator training shall be provided to promote proficient performance of the operator in conformance with the provisions of ASME B30.2/B30.17."
When it comes to OSHA guidelines, you want to be safe, not sorry.
