Crane Medical Surveillance
For personnel who operate cranes with capacity greater than two tons, the following is required:
All prospective crane operators must complete an application and must pass a medical examination and/or review of medical information on file at Health Services prior to training. Crane operators must be medically recertified every three years.
The prospective operator must complete EHS0206 (Crane/Hoist Operator — Greater than 2 Tons). Upon completion of this classroom training, the individual may only operate cranes and hoists they have been authorized to use per the crane manager under the direct supervision of the operator identified on the application, until such time the prospective operator is identified as qualified for the practical examination.
When the prospective operator is ready, they may contact an overhead-crane practical-examination instructor to be examined on the operation of the specific crane to be operated most frequently.
