Pedestal-Mounted Crane Safety (CAN)
Pedestal-mounted cranes move heavy loads across a wide range of Canadian workplaces, from fixed jib cranes in plants to rope-luffing, articulating, and offshore cranes on docks, vessels, and platforms. Because lifting forces transfer through an engineered pedestal or support, a missed inspection, an unknown load, an unclear signal, or a lift outside the approved limits can lead to dropped loads, crushing injuries, electrical contact, or structural failure. That is why awareness of the equipment and safe-work principles matters before anyone takes part in a lift. In this course, learners will explore crane types and responsibilities, components and capacity, pre-use inspection and lift preparation, safe operation and work-zone control, and the abnormal conditions and emergency procedures that call for a full stop.

Is there a time limit for online courses?
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.
