Crane operations training covers operating within the machine's stated limits, the checks that precede a lift, and the coordination between operator, slinger and signaller.
A crane is safe only within its stated limits, and those limits change with radius, ground and weather. The operator often cannot see the load, which is why the roles around the lift matter as much as the controls.
The programme covers the checks before a lift and working with one slinger and one signaller: if more than one person is signalling, the operator stops. The operator can also refuse any lift they consider unsafe.

Recorded in Eduforce material as “Basic Crane Operations” and “Crane Operations”. Eduforce also delivers GWO Crane and Hoist as part of its separate GWO portfolio.
Duration, assessment method and the certificate issued vary by programme, and are set out in the written confirmation issued for your engagement. Contact our team for the current details for this programme, including any validity period that applies.
A dropped load rarely gives a warning. Lifting operations are made safe by planning, rated equipment, a competent slinger and one person in control — every time, including the routine lifts.
Programmes run at the Eduforce training centre or on your own site. Tell us the roles involved and our team will confirm the details.
