Crane Operator Stage 3 Assessment Format

The Assessor will accompany the crane operator into the cab and ask the operator to familiarise him with the crane as if he were handling it over to a new member on board. Points to be noted will include, but not be limited to:

  • Use and understanding of load indicator functions, both static and dynamic modes
  • Limiting devices
  • Drive train
  • Wires fitted to the crane in use
  • Crane controls
  • Understanding of the crane operator’s responsibilities under LOLER regulations or prevailing legislation

Through the calibre of response, the assessor can identify any areas of weakness in the operator’s knowledge of the equipment, safety systems or company operating procedures.
