BC Crane Safety is responsible for the overall administration of crane operator certification in British Columbia. We provide leadership for health and safety development within the crane hoisting industry; serve as an advisory body on regulatory and safety matters; work closely with industry, labour and government to develop and implement new standards of assessment and certification; and provide leadership in the establishment, maintenance and support of industry specific assessment tools (theory and practical) which result in a BC Crane Operator designation.
