Top of Page Overview of change to CSA Atlantic Crane & Material Handling is pleased to announce they are the proud distributor in Atlantic Canada for All Canadian Training Institute ’s Overhead Travelling Crane Operator Course! Recently CSA B167, was updated to CSA B167-08. There were several changes within this Standard, such as Canadian Standards Board has adopted the ISO International World Standard for Cranes for all overhead lifting equipment, which will be the minimum standard in Canada and is applicable in all provinces that recognize existing CSA B167-96 standard. There is no grandfathering clause and is applicable on publication, also there is no minimum capacity, therefore is applicable to all overhead cranes and portal bridge cranes. Within the scope it states: “this standard specifies minimum requirements for the design, inspection, testing, maintenance, and safe operations of overhead cranes, monorails, hoists, trolleys, jib cranes, gantry and wall cranes. ” (CSA B167-08) What this means is, there is a CSA recognized standard, which stipulates that operator training on overhead travelling lifting equipment as a requirement prior to operating and also what the training content must contain as a minimum. They have combined hoisting and material handling into a single standardized training program. Reasoning is that the driver/operator is ultimately responsible for what happens below the hook. Therefore the driver/operator must have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the material handling requirements (rigging, inspection-rejection, calculation and application) prior to operating all lifting equipment. The ISO standards have also stated the required steps for the material handling exercises that driver/operator must be able to successfully perform. (Practical hands-on testing). This is a very important part, as presently most safety training courses do not provide a thorough enough practical testing of the operator ’s skills learned from the theory part of the training. It is industry common practice to provide rigging courses in the classroom with no practical, as a crane is usually unavailable for hands-on testing. All course material is annually audited by a Doctor of Engineering to ensure compliance to all applicable standards (CSA, ISO, ASME). This means Atlantic Crane and All Canadian Training have done everything reasonably practicable to ensure the material contact is current and correct. Therefore the employer can take comfort knowing that by providing this training they too have practiced due diligence ensuring the training provided meets training requirements for overhead cranes.
