Why Do I Need Lattice Boom Crane Safety Training?
In line with regulations, anyone who operates heavy equipment must receive training prior to operating the machine on their own. The requirements for refresher training related to forklifts or other processes are very specific. Most other equipment doesn’t have such specific requirements, but it’s wise to follow the same guidelines.
When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer, but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of crane-related fatalities?
The main causes of employee deaths relating to cranes include electrocution and stuck by crane parts or loads. Proper training and adherence to safety principles decreases the likelihood of serious injuries or fatalities on the job.
How do you prevent crane accidents?
Following established safety principles and following regulations helps. Also following manufacturer guidelines for your crane and equipment is vital. Some of these safety practices include never exceeding the load capacity for your equipment, properly placing and centering the load, and using signalers.
How often does OSHA require inspections on cranes?
Certain inspections need to be performed at every shift where the crane is in operation to maintain the safety of the employees during the shift. However, more comprehensive, and officially documented inspections need to be performed at least once a year. Sometimes these inspections will need to occur more frequently based on crane usage and manufacturer guidelines.
