OSHA has become so concerned about crane-related accidents that they have recently revised their crane safety regulations...for the first time in almost 40 years!

While there are many different types of cranes, they all have the ability to make many jobs much easier by lifting enormous weight. But they also share the potential for disaster when they are not operated safely.

Crane-related accidents can often be deadly, due to the heavy loads that are lifted. Once a load or a crane itself falls, not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way.

MARCOM's training products on "Crane Safety" point out to employees that over 90% of crane-related accidents are caused by human error...and that they are the key to preventing these incidents.

Topics covered in these products include:

• Recent changes in the OSHA crane regulations
• Operator certification
• Equipment inspection and hazard assessment
• Boom, jib and overhead cranes
• General and operational safety devices
• Crane operations and hand signals
• Working around power lines...and more!

MARCOM's Safety Meeting Kits provide all of the materials needed to promote and conduct a safety meeting. Each Kit contains a DVD program, 5 posters and 30 booklets.

DVD kits come with an easy-to-use leader's guide, scheduling and attendance forms, and an employee quiz.
