Subject matter includes determining when to seek competent aid, the safest route and destination of loads, and load weight and centre of gravity.

Individuals training should be able to identify an over-capacity lift, in addition to be able to select correct rigging machine, select load limits, and to determine the safe spot for the crane to work from. People training will review both site-specific and universal crane signals for lifts, and methods for loading, traveling and lifting. Appropriate maintenance practice will be included.

The individuals training will undergo an examination to test their understanding of emergency response techniques for different situations, specifically electrical or mechanical failures.
