Trainees should be able to identify an over-capacity lift, in addition to be able to choose right rigging equipment, choose load limitations, and to determine the safe site for the crane to work from. People training will review both universal and site-specific crane signals for lifts, and methods for traveling, lifting and loading. Appropriate maintenance habits will also be included.

The individuals training will undergo an examination to test their understanding of emergency response techniques for various scenarios, particularly mechanical or electrical failures. They will be asked to describe parking and shut down procedures for security and safety, to follow tagging and lock out procedures, and to explain the reason why near misses are recorded and reported to the right person. Log book records should be maintained.
