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.
