Crane Safety

Crane Safety Training Videos

Cranes move enormous loads, and a single mistake can be catastrophic — which is why OSHA holds crane operators to strict training and, in construction, certification requirements. Our crane safety training videos teach safe operation, inspection, and rigging for overhead and gantry cranes under 29 CFR 1910.179 and for cranes and derricks in construction under 1926 Subpart CC.

These programs cover pre-operation inspection, load charts and capacity, rigging and signaling, hazard recognition, hoist safety, and safe operating procedures. For construction, OSHA 1926.1427 requires crane operators to be trained, certified, and evaluated, including passing both a written and a practical exam — our videos help prepare operators and reinforce safe practices on the job.

Each crane safety kit is available in DVD or USB and in English and Spanish, and includes a training video, presenter’s guide, PowerPoint, quiz, and certificates. Explore the overhead and mobile crane safety training videos below, or call (800) 859-1870 with questions.
