REGISTRATION FOR CRANE OPERATOR ASSESSMENT / DOCUMENTED PROOF OF COMPETENCE
The BC Association for Crane Safety needs the information to help crane operators meet new regulations announced January 12, 2007. As a crane operator in British Columbia, you must meet the WorkSafeBC Regulation 14.34.1 enacted by B.C. Reg. 243/2006, effective January 1, 2007. Registration is the first step and must be submitted to BCACS in order to operate a crane in British Columbia. This will capture how many crane operators need to be assessed, where, and under what conditions, so that BCACS can ensure an adequate assessment system and minimize hurdles for you. The WorkSafeBC regulation applies to all operators of boom trucks, mobile cranes, tower cranes and self-erecting tower cranes.
