“RIIHAN212E Conduct non-slewing crane operations” is a competency-based training course designed to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge required to safely and effectively operate non-slewing cranes in various industrial and construction environments. Non-slewing cranes, also known as pick and carry cranes or franna cranes, are mobile cranes that do not have a slewing capability, meaning they cannot rotate their upper structure independently of their chassis.
Key components of the course typically include:
- Safety Procedures: Participants learn about safety regulations, hazard identification, risk assessment, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of themselves and others during non-slewing crane operations.
- Equipment Familiarization: The course covers different types of non-slewing cranes, including their components, controls, and operational features, as well as the functions and limitations of various attachments and accessories.
- Crane Setup and Pre-operation Checks: Participants learn how to safely set up non-slewing cranes, including procedures for leveling, stabilizing, and securing the crane, as well as conducting pre-operation checks to ensure that the crane is in proper working condition.
- Crane Operation Techniques: The course teaches participants how to safely operate non-slewing cranes to lift, move, and position loads, including techniques for load estimation, rigging, signaling, and load control to prevent accidents or damage to equipment and personnel.
- Emergency Procedures: Participants learn how to respond to emergencies and unexpected events during crane operations, including procedures for controlling the crane in case of power failure, equipment malfunction, or adverse weather conditions.
Upon successful completion of the course and assessment, participants will have the skills and knowledge necessary to safely and effectively conduct non-slewing crane operations, contributing to the productivity and safety of construction and lifting projects in their respective workplaces.
