Workplace Health & Safety Requirements

Crane operators love working with heavy machinery, working in teams, and have good hand-eye coordination. If this sounds like a great way to spend your working day, you could have a bright future as a crane operator.

The course is fully compliant, and covers all aspects of Regulation 4.5 of the Hazardous Substances Regulations (2017). This course includes classes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 in detail. For those requiring Certified Handler certification, this course is essential and comprises the training component.

During this four-hour course, learners will understand how to work safely on-site, how to promote a strong health and safety awareness and improve culture on-site. In addition, identify hazards and safe use of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP), scaffolds and nets.

The course resources are designed to provide anyone who drives a special type vehicle that isn’t a forklift on a road with the required skills and knowledge for safe operation in any applicable environment. A separate endorsement applies for Wheels (W), Tracks (T) and Rollers (R).

If you drive a forklift on the road, you must have an F Endorsement on your driver licence. Note that the licence endorsement and the licence class systems work together. Your licence has to cover both the type of vehicle and its weight.
