With effect from 1 Apr 2011, all registered Crane Operators will be required to undergo a half-day Workshop to Enhance the Safety of Crane Operations (WESCO) before they can renew their 2-year crane operator licenses.
The objective of this Workshop is to raise the safety competencies of personnel involved in the operation of cranes. Topics covered include safety practices for crane operations, updates on safety laws and regulations, safe lifting practices and lessons learnt from recent crane-related accidents.
All Crane Operators will be required to show proof of attendance at this Workshop before they can renew their crane operator licenses after 1 Apr 2011. This requirement will only apply at the point of expiry of Crane Operator registration.
The Workshop is now available at the two authorised training providers starting from October 2010. To attend the Workshop, crane operators are required to produce their crane operator license at registration.
