Ready to Reduce RiskTraining tips, practical applications, and best business practices for crane and rigging professionals
e mployers carry an ongoing, and often increasing, burden to ensure operators, riggers, production workers, and others working with cranes are qualified and competent to do their jobs. While OSHA has
always put this responsibility on employers, the pendulum has swung in the direction of strict inspections and heavy citations.
According to Angelo Alverio, Crane & Rigging Hot Line’s 2013 Professional Top Trainer and Senior Instructor/Inspector for Crane Inspection and Certification Bureau: “We have seen willful and serious violations because employers have failed to ensure their operators, riggers, and signal persons are properly trained, and that training has been documented.” He encourage employers, “Don’t find yourself among those who do the bare minimum. Be a leader, set your company apart from others, and you’ll see a boost in morale, better teamwork and productivity, a reduction in workplace injuries and less maintenance required on your equipment.”
Attendees of the Dec. 3-4, 2014 CRC/ICHC conference in Houston, Texas, will hear presentations in the same vein with useful ideas that can be implemented at your workplace. Sessions are designed for people at all levels of their organization, but sharing the common goal of safe work practices.
A pre-conference workshop on Dec. 2, presented by North American Crane Bureau specifically targeted individuals responsible for Assembly/Disassembly activities. If you missed this in-depth program covering crew communication, safe work procedures, determining load weights, rigging requirements, and component selection, visit www.cranesafe.com or call 800-654-5640 to find out when this or other training classes are available.

n BReaKouT sessionAdult learning styles for developing an effective Training Program
Many organizations employing crane operators use a combination of in-house and outsourced training solutions. When selecting training or developing your own program, safety managers should consider the differences between student-centered or instructor-centered training; what is unique to how adults learn; and what steps are essential to developing a sound training program.
Speaker Wendell Gray of Crane Institute of America will close the session by applying these principles to the interpretation of load charts. The audience will be given a hands-on exercise to complete.
Speaker Wendell Gray is a training specialist and consultant for Crane Institute of America, Sanford, Fla. He has 45 years of experience working with material handling equipment in manufacturing, construction, and crane rental.
He left general industry and construction in 2000 to become a crane inspector and consultant providing safety assessments and accident reconstruction.

n BReaKouT sessionUnderstanding the differences in cmAA and Fem design standards for overhead cranes and Hoists
Companies seeking to install new overhead cranes have more choices today than they did 15 years ago from global manufacturers. However, when specifying a hoist and crane system, it’s essential that crane buyers understand the differences between CMAA (USA) and FEM (European) standards as they apply to duty ratings, cycle times, and related components. Mistakes in specification based on misunderstandings of design standards can increased ownership costs and create unsafe conditions.
Mark Erny, Vice President of Progressive Crane, Cleveland, Ohio, will explain that engineering an overhead crane begins with the application. Though the hoisting equipment may only be 30-45 percent of the overall investment, it is 100% the reason for reduced return on investment and lost production, when designed incorrectly for the application.
Mark Erny got his start with Mazzella Lifting Technologies in the 1990s and later moved onto management positions with Konecranes and Morris Material Handling. Before returning to Mazzella as vice president of Progressive Crane in 2011, he spent six years as president of Integrated Management Ventures. contact: www.progressivecrane.com, 440-239-7000, [email protected]

n BReaKouT sessionsetting Up for success: The relationship dynamics between the load, crane mat, and ground
Three factors affect what size crane mat or outrigger pad should be used--the load weight, the ground bearing pressure and the ground bearing capacity. In order to size mats effectively these three criteria must be evaluated and accounted for. This session, presented by Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA Outrigger Pads, will explore the pros and cons of various mat and pad materials and provide practical advice on how to select the proper size crane mat or pad. In addition, attendees will review common ‘rules of thumb’ and discuss how they
may or may not apply in most situations.

Putting labor statistics to work for crane & Rigging labor Providers
Brian Stamper of Construction Labor Market Analyzer (CLMA) will show how labor market analytics can help employers manage risk and prepare their workforce for future projects. While contractors often use the data to prepare for craft labor shortages, crane and rigging sub-contractors can use the information to know what training needs to take place, which workers to retain, and when and what knowledge transfer activities need to take place from retiring workers.
The session will include an interactive demonstration using current data trends. Developed in alliance with the Workforce Development Committee of the Construction Users Roundtable, the CLMA helps owners, contractors, and trainers plan for future labor needs.
Brian Stamper is the Director of Sales and Business Development for the CLMA and the Member Concierge at CURT. He has worked in construction management and business development for projects in industrial, healthcare, and corporate markets.

Positive, Negative, and Unintended consequences of Using Visual Aids on mobile, Tower, and overhead cranes
Cameras and visual aid technology is used in our every day lives—from car backup cameras to security cameras and intersection surveillance. While not new in crane applications, operators and supervisors need greater situational awareness to make the most of the technology. Cameras on the hook block, for example, expand the eyes of the operator and allow management to oversee the lift from the operator’s perspective. Frank Hegan, President, Crane Tech Solutions,
Portsmouth, Va., will explain how visual aids for all types of mobile, tower, and overhead cranes can increase productivity, provide competitive advantages, and even assist with accident investigation.
The presenter, Frank Hegan, has more than 30 years of experience in construction and engineering companies. He has co-authored publications related to crane safety and operations, including an in-depth study of crane operations in New York City. He regularly conducts crane safety classes for New Jersey Safety Council.

n BReaKouT sessioncall of the wild. working in a New state: what you don’t Know can Hurt you
Crane age limits? Operators high on legal pot? Dead people adopting children in order to increase claims against you? “Construction team” members (meaning you) responsible for construction defects they had nothing to do with? Too little insurance coverage for that state?
What is this construction world coming to? What’s waiting to bite you on that job you took across the state line? That’s what we’re going to try to help you learn about.
Ryan Warren, a construction attorney, and a certified crane operator, will tell you the top 10 legal issues he thinks you should investigate before you travel or perform a lift outside your home state. Warren is a shareholder with Polsinelli PC, a nationwide law firm with more than 700 lawyers and 18 offices. Warren, based in Colorado, has significant crane-related legal experience, and enjoys few things more than helping crane companies, their operators, oilers, and riggers operate more safely and with less fear of liability ... except maybe playing rugby.

n BReaKouT sessioncreating Value through Preventative maintenance of overhead cranes
Using case studies from Boeing, Arecelor-Mittal, and other companies, this session will show how some of the largest overhead crane users reduced unplanned downtime and improved their bottom line by employing preventive inspection and maintenance processes. With data going back to 1974, Tad Dunville will explain the correlation between inspection and maintenance of wear-related components, such as brakes, power transmissions, sheaves, wire rope, bearings, etc., and failure. While the presentation data is for
overhead crane components, the principles apply to mobile cranes as well.
Tad Dunville founded TigerTracks, a cloud-based inspection reporting system, in 2012.Investors from former Echo Global and Groupon teams have backed the company, which is being used by Amtrak, Caterpillar and others. Before founding TigerTracks, Dunville
