All crane operators, dogman and riggers hold current licenses of competency for the class of equipment they operate or activity they conduct, and have extensive industry experience. Company induction procedures ensure all personnel meet the required selection criteria prior to gaining employment. This includes reference, competency and medical checks. Competency based training and assessment is completed by all personnel for items of plant and equipment, risk assessment, hazard identification and company operational procedures.

Universal Cranes has always maintained an open book approach to safety. We believe in sharing near misses and accident stories for the benefit of others in the industry, and as a learning tool for operators and riggers to help stop the same incidents being repeated.
