Crane Fundamentals™ Level 1
Lifts are happening on your site. But you've never had formal training to understand the risk.
If you're an engineer, supervisor or HSE professional, you've probably been asked to procure a crane, review a lift study, or sign off on a SWMS — and most of the time, you figured it out on the job.
That works, until it doesn't.
Because when something goes wrong, it's you and your team who are exposed.
Most project teams have a process that looks compliant on paper, but nobody in the room who actually understands what's in front of them. Crane Fundamentals™ closes that specific gap.
Not so you can do the crane company's job. So you understand what they're doing on your behalf.
Crane Fundamentals gives you the practical knowledge to understand crane operations from planning through execution — how cranes work, how they're selected, how lift plans are built, and what questions need answering before the hook goes up. Not so you become a lift planner. So you can review a plan with real comprehension and make decisions based on understanding, not assumption.
