Crane and Hoist Basic User

This module is designed to provide participants with theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to ensure awareness of safety when using cranes and lifting devices in service operations within the wind industry. The focus is on small, fixed cranes (e.g. 8 metric tons/meters) and fixed lifting devices that are typically used both onshore and offshore in wind environments.

Through a combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on training, participants will develop the skills necessary to safely operate common types of fixed cranes and lifting devices. The training emphasizes compliance with manufacturers' manuals, relevant documentation, and legislative guidelines. The course covers both onshore and offshore scenarios, preparing participants to deal with the specific challenges that the wind industry entails.

After successful completion of the Crane and Lifting Ground Module, participants will be equipped to assume the responsibility as a basic user. They will have the expertise to operate fixed cranes and lifting devices in a wind turbine (WTG) environment, especially for basic lifting. Participants will demonstrate proficiency in following manufacturers' manuals and complying with relevant documentation and legislation, thus ensuring the highest standards of safety in their operational practices.

Certificate Validity Period:

• This qualification is enduring; therefore, no specific validity period applies to this training.
• The certification assumes that the participant remains actively engaged in working with lifting equipment within a wind turbine environment.
• Refresher training may be recommended based on operator requirements, local procedures, or relevant legislation.
