Additionally, the course emphasizes hand signals, knots, bends, hitches, and workplace safety regulations.

Crane Operators in the Yukon are required to carry "proof of competence" by Yukon Workers' Compensation Health and Safety Board (YWCHSB). The instructor will introduce each participant to the necessary steps to become certified by BC Crane, recognized Crane Operator certification in the Yukon. Crane Operator Certification will be completed once the necessary training hours are logged and a BC Crane certified assessor has passed your practical skills assessment.
