Association Objectives

We promote accident-free crane operations throughout British Columbia.

The establishment in British Columbia of a cost-effective crane operator qualification regime that:

• Involves documented proof of competency
• Includes theoretical and practical assessments
• Is accessible and available at all levels and types of industry

We promote the attractiveness of the trade to prospective entry-level crane operators and the timely achievement of their qualifications.

We serve as an industry advisory body to agencies responsible for developing and maintaining standards that affect crane operations. Through this role, we help ensure that standards reflect current industry practices and support safe, effective crane work across B.C.

We provide advice to WorkSafeBC on matters related to crane operations, including how occupational health and safety requirements and regulatory changes may affect industry practices. Through this advisory role, we help ensure that regulatory decisions consider the realities of crane operations and support safe, effective work across the province.
