Who We Are & What We Do
Promoting safe and competent crane, hoisting, and rigging operations throughout British Columbia.
We Are B.C.'s Crane Certification Authority
BC Crane Safety was formed in 2005 to create a certification program for crane operators in British Columbia. We have worked with more than 50 different industries that use cranes to develop a world-class program. We also work with regulators, crane operators, owners, governments, and many others.
We oversee a third-party competency-based certification system that has become a model for Jurisdictions around the world. We are in the process of achieving world-class status through ISO/EC 17024 alignment.
Certified 24K Crane Operators
We have certified more than 24,837 operators as of 2024. We set and maintain competency-based assessment standards and protocols for 6 levels of certification and for eleven crane types.
Advocate for Health & Safety
We are advocates and promoters for the health and safety of worksites, workers and the public.
Oversee Certifications
Our oversight role means we are not a training organization or an assessment body. Because we use a third-party assessment process, we avoid conflicts of interest and maintain quality assurance. This means we validate and issue credentials impartially.
Provide Certification & Assessment
We issue certifications to operators who can demonstrate competency, no matter how and where they gained their skills.
Working with Fulford
We work alongside Fulford Certification, the third-party service provider that facilitates exam delivery and conducts practical assessments.
Safe & Effective Crane Operations
We work with industries, governments and health and safety authorities within BC, across Canada and internationally to identify trends and "next practices" that impact all our stakeholders, including the many industries that benefit from safe, effective crane operations.
