    Occupational
    Cranes and lifting devices are powerful, rugged machines that are critical to many industrial and construction operations. Just as crucial to these processes is the crane operator, because an improperly rigged or hoisted load can have monumental and often deadly consequences. Crane operators must be committed to moving loads in a safe, controlled manner in order to avoid injuries and property damage. This video demonstrates the safe work practices and precautions necessary to keep these employees and their co-workers out of harms way while cranes and hoists are being rigged or operated.
