Aerial work platforms provide access to work areas that are difficult or impossible to reach, but there are potential hazards involved. That is why anyone operating an aerial work platform must be trained and authorized before using the equipment. This program covers a broad range of topics including: Pre-Shift Inspections, Operating Controls, Safe Operating Procedures, Driving and Steering, Speed Control, Fall Protection and others.

Crane operations are an integral part of any worksite, employing and potentially endangering approximately 250,000 operators and workers. Signaling plays a critical role in safe crane operations, giving the operator a second pair of eyes on the ground. This program covers the signal persons role, best work practices, and standard hand signals.

While there are many different types of cranes, they all have the ability to make many jobs much easier by lifting enormous weight. They also share the potential for disaster when they are not operated safely. Crane-related accidents can often be deadly. Once a load or a crane falls, not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. OSHA recently revised their crane safety regulations for the first time in almost 40 years. This program includes: recent changes in the OSHA crane regulations, operator certification, equipment inspection and hazard assessment, boom, jib and overhead cranes, crane operations and hand signals and working around power lines.

This program addresses and outlines the changes of OSHA's new crane safety standard in a clear, concise manner. Your employees will lean about: important provisions in the new standards, training regarding overhead power lines for operators and crew members, training for dedicated spotters, operator certification, requirements for ground condition inspections and crane inspections.

According to the Center for Construction Research and Training, 323 construction workers died over a recent 14-year period due to crane incidents. That's an average of 22 construction crane related deaths per year! Help motivate your employees to work safely around these massive machines with vital information on the different types of cranes used in construction, the roles and responsibilities of crew members and hazards associated with working with and around cranes. This program helps your organization comply with OSHA's revised standard 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC.

This video is designed for anyone operating hoists or cranes. The program explains sling angles, safety techniques and inspection procedures. Anyone operating this equipment must be trained. This video meets OSHA training requirements.

Electrocution, falls, crushed body parts and tip-overs are just a few examples of incidents that often result from unsafe operations of elevated work platforms. This program discusses the procedures lift operators must follow to prevent these types of incidents.

Since the operator is required to respond to signals given by the signal person, they must be correct. This program shows how to effectively and accurately direct the crane using the hand signals required by OSHA and ASME.

Use this video to show employees that understanding and practicing safe work procedures around indoor cranes is mandatory! Six accident reenactments reinforce these crane safety topics: proper rigging, operator training & authorization, standing beneath lifted loads, pre-operational equipment check out, lifting, moving Y releasing loads, exceeding capacities of cranes & rigging, and giving hand signals to operator.

This presentation guides the viewer step by step in how to find gross capacity, determine capacity deductions, calculate net capacity and determine parts of a line. Also included is a dramatic reenactment of an accident involving a two-crane lift.

From ancient times, civilizations have used crane technology to advance and improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, when operated incorrectly these powerful tools can result in expensive damage to products, serious injury, and even death. This program will help increase your employees' awareness of the hazards of working with or around cranes and will help your organization comply with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.179. Show maintenance crews, operators and riggers specific ways they can work safely around these hazardous machines, including pre-operational and periodic inspections. It also covers the proper way to rig and move a load.

Inspection, operating practices, operator qualification requirements and when to lock-out and tag-out overhead cranes are thoroughly covered in this presentation. It uses a hands-on approach to provide practical safety instruction for those working with and around overhead cranes.

This comprehensive program focuses on the basic procedures for the safe operation overhead cranes. Operators are provided with the information needed to conduct daily walk around and operational checks, prior to using the crane. Special considerations are addressed, such as working in less than ideal situations and communication with a signal person.

The pre-operational inspection is the cornerstone of all safe crane operations. Using OSHA and ASME as a guide, this presentation covers the inspection of control functions, operational aids, booms and jibs, wire rope, and other critical components of lattice boom cranes.

Pre-operational inspection is the first job of the day and maybe the most important. Following OSHA and ANSI guidelines, this presentation covers the inspection of control functions and operational aids, booms, jibs, wire rope, and other critical components of telescoping boom cranes.

This presentation covers how to properly attach a load to a crane. A small miscalculation or a brief moment of inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. A coworker could be injured or expensive equipment and materials could be damaged or destroyed... even the crane itself.

How a load is attached to a crane can make the difference between a successful lift and an unfortunate accident. And rigging-related accidents can often be deadly, due to the large and heavy loads that are lifted. Once a load or a crane falls not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. Topics covered in this program includes: recent changes in the OSHA crane safety regulations, qualified/competent riggers and signalers, personal protective equipment, equipment inspection, slings and hitches, and hand signals and load angles.
