Crane Safety – Hand Signals (Microlearning)

OCS-2.2

Cranes are designed to carry material all over large warehouses and factory floors, making them a valuable time-saving tool. Controlling the crane from one spot makes it difficult to see what the load is doing at all times, though. Most crane operators usually have riggers directing their load, and most will stay in contact via two-way radios or other electronic means, but crane operators and riggers need to have a system of hand signals in case the electronic systems break down. Designed for crane operators and riggers, this module will teach employees the standard OSHA-recommended hand signals. This module covers the same information regarding hand signals that is covered in our Crane Safety course. It has been provided as a stand-alone module for learners who only need this portion of the training. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
