On-Site Overhead & Gantry Crane Safety Training for Employers

National Safety Partners (NSP) provides overhead and gantry crane operator safety training exclusively for employers operating fixed crane systems. We deliver on-site training anywhere in San Diego, helping organizations ensure operators are properly trained, evaluated, and aligned with OSHA and industry safety standards.

This program is designed for public and private employers across manufacturing, industrial, logistics, utilities, ports, and government operations that rely on safe and compliant overhead or gantry crane use.

Designed for Employer Workforces, Not Individual Operators

NSP does not offer public classes or individual enrollment. Our overhead gantry crane training is built specifically for employers who need to:

Train multiple crane operators at once
Meet OSHA expectations for qualified operators
Reduce incidents related to fixed crane operations
Standardize training across facilities and locations
Maintain consistent safety documentation

Training is conducted on-site, using your equipment, operational environment, and real-world hazards whenever possible.

Comprehensive Overhead & Gantry Crane Operator Safety Training

This course provides operators with the knowledge and practical awareness needed to safely operate overhead and gantry cranes in industrial and facility-based settings.

Training topics include:

Operator responsibilities and limitations
Overhead and gantry crane components and functions
Operational modes and control systems
Pre-operation and periodic inspection processes
Load control and safe material handling
Operational safety practices and hazard awareness
Wire rope, chain, and hoist condition recognition
Proper response to unsafe conditions
Applicable OSHA and ASME standards

Instruction blends classroom learning with hands-on discussion and evaluation to ensure operators understand both safe operation and compliance expectations.

Written & Practical Evaluation

At the conclusion of training, operators must demonstrate competency through a written knowledge assessment and a practical evaluation of overhead or gantry crane operation. This evaluation process helps employers document operator qualifications and supports OSHA expectations for trained and competent crane operators.

Compliance with Industry Standards

NSP’s overhead and gantry crane operator safety training aligns with applicable regulatory and industry requirements, including:

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.179(a)(35)
1910.179(b)(8)
ASME B30.2.

Safety Training vs. Certification Programs

This course focuses on safety training, not national certification exams. Many employers use this program to:

Qualify new or reassigned operators
Reinforce safe operating practices
Support OSHA compliance
Reduce equipment damage and downtime

For employers requiring national crane certification or NCCCO exam preparation, NSP offers dedicated certification programs.
