Training

Our equipment is inspected and certified to the CSA B167 Standard, so shouldn’t your crane operators be as well?

We offer the most comprehensive crane operator and rigging program on the market. We are proud to partner with All Canadian Training as they are one of the first crane safety training companies in North America to be audited by an industry expert professional engineer.

The main purpose of these audits is to ensure our training material content and safe-work practices are in accordance and compliant to the most current published applicable national and international standards.

This can lessen the chance of an injury accident for our clients and our instructors, lowering costs related to overhead crane incidents.

  • Regional Health & Safety Regulations
  • Proper crane & rigging inspection
  • Full rigging instructions
  • How to complete safe working load calculations
  • How to make better rigging choices based on industry best practices

The practical evaluation begins on Day Two, consisting of real-world hands-on testing of the skills learned in the classroom.

Train-The-Trainer For Overhead Crane

Train-The-Trainer is a two-day course that shows an instructor exactly how to teach the Overhead Crane Operator Course to in-house workers, as a cost-effective and convenient option for larger employers developing their own crane operator training programs.

This option is an advantage to companies that have multiple locations in different jurisdictions, enabling them to standardize their training and facilitate an auditing process. ACTi’s courses are written to meet compliance with CSA-B167 in Canada, and ASME-B30 in the United States, making the course valid across most of North America.
