Dock Crane Operator Certification
Why do I need to be certified?
In British Columbia, Occupational Health & Safety Regulations are implemented and enforced by WorkSafeBC. Any operator of a hoisting device is to be trained and assessed as competent.
(WorkSafeBC Guideline 14.34)
The majority of crane accidents are caused by human error. Accidents can be minimised or prevented by making sure all operators have received formal training.
The Level 1 and Level 2 Dock Crane Operator courses are delivered online and allow you to complete the training and knowledge quizes at your own pace and whenever it is convenient for you.
