Profile Description

1. knowing the machine well. The operator must understand its functions and limitations as
well as its particular operating characteristics.
2. having a thorough knowledge of the information contained in the crane's operating
manual.
3. being familiar with the crane's load chart. The operator must understand the correct
meaning of all notes and warnings and be able to calculate or determine the crane's actual
net capacity for every possible configuration of the machine.
4. inspecting and maintaining the crane regularly as prescribed by both the owner and
manufacturer.
5. informing the owner of any problems, needed maintenance, or necessary repairs to the
machine. This should be done in writing, preferably in the machine's logbook or
inspection report.
6. recording in the log or report the details of all inspections, maintenance, and other work
done on the crane while in the field.
7. supervising and training the apprentice if one is present.
8. being aware of any site conditions that could affect the crane operation. Be particularly
cautious around powerlines. The operator must refuse to operate if the crane, hoist rope,
or load will come closer to a powerline than the absolute limit of approach specified in
law.
9. checking that the site is adequately prepared for the crane.
10. reviewing the planned operation and requirements with the site supervision.
