Are you a Crane Operator?

You operate a boom truck, mobile or tower crane. Every day, every shift, you level up and own your lift. You plan your work, work your plan because you’ve got this. When it comes to pre-planning, maintenance, inspections, or lifts, you make it a part of your regular routine. Welcome to the BC Crane Safety, this is your website.

No, but I’m interested in becoming one.

Is this the career for you? Read our crane operator interviews to find out more and check out our 15-minute orientation to the crane operator certification process.

Watch our practical test preparation videos to see some of the skills you must master to be able to operate different types of crane classifications.

Yukon Crane Operators Align with BC Crane Operator Certification

In 2008, BC Crane Safety completed the full theory and practical pilot crane operator assessment. During the development, the Yukon Territory,  through Yukon Workers’ Compensation Board, participated in the process and adopted the same approach. That’s why BC Crane Safety works and continues to work closely with Yukon WCB.

Credential Check

BC Crane Safety is the provincial authority responsible for crane operator certification in British Columbia. Employers and employer representatives can use the Credential Check to verify the status of a crane operator.

Health & Safety

Level up, own your lift. Boom trucks, mobile or tower crane tasks…whatever the equipment, there needs to be safe production from the start. If you are involved in:

  • pre-planning and inspections,
  • lifts and maintenance,
  • or pre-assembly or dismantling,

– know your workplace safety responsibilities and tasks. Here you will find bulletins, checklists and safe work practices to keep a check on worker and worksite safety.
