Course Organization:
This participant’s guide has been developed to expand on the information provided in the workshop slides. Seasoned crane professionals will guide you through the sessions while providing their unique experiences and lessons learned. The slides and participant’s guide are prepared for you as take away resource for later reference. To maximize the benefit of this training, we encourage you to take notes, participate actively in classroom exercises, ask questions, and share your experiences – this will enrich the experience for all in attendance. A companion website will be available for you as a resource and discussion platform because we know that safety does not contain itself to a 3-hour training course (http://content.asce.org/ci/crane_safety/index.html).
The ASCE/CI Crane Safety Training Course is designed as a 3-hour core training session with information that all engineers, managers, supervisors should have when working with cranes on construction sites. There are also three supplementary “plug-in” modules: Rigging Operations, Alternative Lifting Methods, and Standards, Regulations and Certifications, that can be added to the training session if requested. All of this material will be provided to every registered participant in the course slides and participant’s guide; however, this material may not be covered in the classroom depending on the time allotted for the on-site training session.
