Description.
Crane operators use different types of cranes for lifting and moving
objects.
Tasks. The tasks of a crane operator:
- Check the crane is set up correctly and is secure
- Check the load to be lifted
- Check the crane's functions including the water and air
- Move the load and place it in the required position
- Follow directions from the 'rigger'
- May drive a mobile crane to and from work sites
- Identify and control any hazards
- Safety check of the crane
- May direct the 'rigger'
A 'rigger' directs the crane operator from the ground.
Personal skills. Crane operators should be able to communicate well
with the client, other staff and anybody involved with the lifting process,
in order to understand what is required when moving loads from one place
to another. They should be able to follow instructions from clients, and
must be able to give and interpret hand signals and radio communications
correctly when operating a crane. They should be skilled at observing
details on the ground.
Knowledge. Crane operators must know the meaning of different
hand signals being given from the ground. They must know about the safety
regulations that govern crane operation (such as environment, health and
safety legislation, road regulations and vehicle weight permitts), the
weight limits for various cranes and how to maintain the cranes they use.
They should also have some knowledge of construction methods and materials.
Personal qualities. Crane operators must be careful and attentive
at all times so they can follow directions closely. They may be up in
cranes for long periods of time and they need to be cautious about heights.
They should be able to work well in construction teams and should be responsible
at all times when operating a crane. They should also be versatile and
have a co-operative attitude, as they may be asked to do other jobs on
site when they are not operating cranes.
Physical qualities. Crane operators need to have good hand-eye
co-ordination and should be reasonably fit and healthy. They need good
eyesight and practical ability.
