Most accidents can be prevented with proper training, inspections and maintenance.

Our goal is to educate crane operators, riggers, inspectors and businesses to reduce the risks inherent in any location where cranes are working. We want to improve the skills of those working in and around cranes, ensure that cranes have been properly inspected and maintained, help workers make rational decisions in a dangerous environment and assist businesses in creating safer worksites.
