What certifications are needed for a person to operate a crane on a construction site?
Operating a crane on a construction site in India is a job that comes with great responsibility. To ensure safety and efficiency, a crane operator must be properly trained and certified according to Indian regulations and industry standards.
✅ Basic Requirements:
- Educational Qualification
Typically, the operator should have passed at least 10th standard and be physically fit. - Crane Operator Training
The operator must complete a certified training program through government-recognised institutes like: - NSDC (National Skill Development Corporation)
- Construction Skill Development Council of India (CSDCI)
- Other State-approved training centers
- License / Certification
After training, the operator receives a Crane Operator Certificate which verifies their knowledge of: - Crane mechanics
- Load calculations
- Safety protocols
- Emergency handling
- On-Site Safety Training
Most construction companies also require the operator to undergo on-site safety induction based on OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or IS standards. - Regular Evaluation
Operators may be re-evaluated every 1–2 years, especially in large-scale or high-risk projects.
At Krishna Crane Engineers, a trusted EOT crane manufacturer in Gujarat, we believe that the safe and skilled operation of cranes is just as important as the quality of the equipment.
