Overhead Travelling Crane Safety
Your operators trained on your crane, in your factory. Safe operation, pre-use inspection and load limits for overhead travelling cranes.
Legal basis: OSH (Plant Requiring Certificate of Fitness) Regulations 2024 [P.U.(A) 99/2024] — Certificate of Fitness for lifting plant; OSH Act 1994 [Act 514] (English · Bahasa Malaysia) — general duties for employers and employees.
Who It's For
When You Need It
New operators starting
Get inexperienced staff certified before they touch the controls.
Near-miss or incident with the crane
Re-train the team after a close call or accident investigation.
New crane installed
Commission training alongside new equipment so operators know that specific hoist.
Audit or inspection coming
Demonstrate competence records before a DOSH or client audit.
What Your Team Walks Away With
- Conduct a thorough pre-use inspection before every shift
- Attach slings and rigging correctly for stable, balanced lifts
- Estimate load weight and identify the centre of gravity
- Use standard hand signals and maintain clear communication
- Execute emergency stop and isolation procedures correctly

Anyone who operates, rigs loads for, or works near overhead travelling cranes in factories, workshops, warehouses or steel fabrication plants should attend.
Naja Safety's Overhead Travelling Crane Safety programme is typically delivered over 1–2 days, customisable, combining classroom theory with hands-on practical demonstrations at your site using your actual crane equipment.
Yes. We strongly recommend on-site delivery so trainers can assess your actual crane configurations, demonstrate proper techniques using your equipment, and tailor the programme to your site's specific risks and load types.
It depends on the course and the venue. Tell us your headcount and we'll plan the sessions around it.
Lifting plant including overhead cranes must hold a valid Certificate of Fitness (CF) under the OSH (Plant Requiring Certificate of Fitness) Regulations 2024. The CF is valid for 15 months (reg 5(6)). This course trains operators — it does not issue the CF itself. If you need CF inspection services, ask us and we can refer you to the right route.
