The Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA), has formally launched its operator training and certification initiative CrewSafe.
The initiative is a collaborative effort with crane owners, equipment manufacturers and trainers both in Australia and overseas, to increase onsite safety by introducing recorded machine specific assessments that confirm and document competency on a specific crane.
The assessment modules are designed reflect the current state of knowledge and best practice and are crane model specific. All operator assessments are filmed, documented and accessible on a CrewSafe app, so that site supervisors and crane operators have a centralised point of reference accessible from their mobile phones.
CrewSafe was formally launched in Western Australia with a demonstration event held at the facilities of crane rental company Freo, which gave the attendees a clear understanding of how the standardised assessment modules work and how they can protect their crew, crane and reputation.
