Boom Truck (CAN)
Boom trucks are truck-mounted cranes equipped with either telescopic or knuckle (articulating) booms, and they're a essential piece of equipment on construction, utility, and material delivery job sites. When operators skip inspections, misread load charts, or fail to account for ground conditions, the consequences can include tip-overs, powerline contact, and dropped loads. This course covers what Canadian workers need to know to support safe boom truck operations, including major hazards, pre-operational inspections, setup and stability, load charts, lift planning, rigging safety, and emergency procedures.

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
