Individuals training will know the following: how to identify cranes and their component parts; pre-operational, operational and post-operating requirements; how to determine overall lift capacity; rigging components and inspection/rejection criteria; and needs specific to the work location where the trainees will be operating.

The requirements which must be done prior to operating a crane such as assigning authority for the pre-operational check; carrying out the sequential pre-operational check based on the specifications certified by a professional engineer or manufacturer's specifications; inspecting the work place for obstacles and hazards; checking the log book for comments; inspecting cables, hooks, chains safety latches and crane movement; making certain of the right functioning of operational controls; and learning how to make certain that the crane's disconnect switch/isolator is functioning right.

The requirements to operating a crane would comprise the identifying of responsibilities and roles, and the determination of the need for a formal lift plan. The person training would learn how to do danger assessments for the different environmental situations, physical situations and employees. Subject matter consists of determining when to seek competent help, the destination of loads and the safest route, and centre of gravity and load weight.

It is vital for trainees to be able to identify an over-capacity lift, choose appropriate rigging machinery, be aware of load restrictions, and determine a safe site from which to work. Trainees would review both universal and site-specific crane signals for lifts, and techniques for loading, traveling and lifting. Appropriate maintenance practice would likewise be covered.

Individuals training would be assessed on their understanding of the need for emergency response procedures for various circumstances like for example a mechanical or electrical failure.
