People who are interested in pursuing their career in operating heavy machines like cranes. Then it is necessary to undergo training. A crane operator must undergo a Crane certification, where he will be taught how to use, operate a heavy machine like crane. Crane certification basically includes two types of certification they are operator certification and equipment certification. Both these crane certifications are important and are offered by many institutes. For operator certification operator needs to enroll themselves in an institute and take training. This training will include both practical and theoretical session.  And few institutes even offer live training, where operator will have experience of working in live environment. They will also teach operator about hand signals, one of the most important part of this training. While operators or workers are working on construction site, then the best way to communicate to each other is via signals. Moreover, the crane is so huge that it won’t be possible to communicate via speech i.e. keeping distance in mind operators and workers working around crane use hand signals to communicate.

Another type of crane certification will include equipment certification. The owner has to get this certification done for a crane then only he will be allowed to use his crane at construction site.  Builders usually contact crane inspection team. They will come and do crane inspection. If they are satisfied with the functionality and condition of a crane i.e. if they found crane is properly maintained and all the rules to use it are followed, then they will give a crane inspection certificate to the owner and allow him to continue its use for another 1 year. In case, they don’t then they will suggest required action plan for owner and would not give certificate. Since crane is a heavy and costly machine so it is necessary to maintain it properly so that it will pass crane inspection and will get crane certificate.
