HANK DUTTON: Construction cranes are responsible for some of the world's most beautiful skylines. They're also responsible for some of the world's worst construction site accidents. Truth is, cranes are only as safe as the people who operate and manage them. That's why, if you're gonna crane, you gotta train. At first, your construction team may not be all that excited about taking a professional crane training course.

SPEAKER 1: Oh, well, I heard it was going to be hard. 

SPEAKER 2: It was a sort of "volun-told."

RANDY GOODE: Crane training-- I thought, oh no, a test. 

SPEAKER 3: I get all the big, heavy, more dangerous stuff to lift and pick, so it's very important for me to do that correctly.

HANK DUTTON: But once they've completed the course, it's a whole other story.

TERRY SUBLETT: That's going great, actually. I've learned a lot. They've taught me a lot of processes and things that I never would've thought of before.

CHRISTOPHER SMITH: I'm excited about this training for the broad spectrum of information, and learning multiple cranes, and how they work, function.

RANDY GOODE: Knowing my coworkers are doing the same training, it'll make a safer environment for us to work in. And everybody will have knowledge and training of what's going on. And that's a good thing in my line of work.

DON ADKINS: The Travelers training has helped us to develop confidence in each other. Where the supervisor now trusts the operator even more, because he's obtained certification and is thoroughly trained, which makes the crew much more cohesive.

ED LAVALLEE: In my role as a broker, it's always trying to put the latest and greatest information and technologies out there to my clients to help improve their program. And this is certainly one of those that I would highly recommend to anybody.

MIKE FERRY: It's opened everyone's eyes to what we should be focusing on on crane safety and crane setup, and holding our subcontractors, as well as ourselves, when we self-perform with cranes. In my 13 years of taking a lot of safety training, to be honest, it was probably the most impactful training I've had to date.

JOHN GEMETRO: I've felt it was so valuable that we're going to be sending operators more supervision, and mechanics that do the maintenance of the crane. Just because something hasn't happened in the past doesn't mean that it can't happen in the future.

HANK DUTTON: Many students taking Travelers' professional crane operations course moved from petrified to certified. In fact, of the 6,000 construction workers we've trained, over 80% have passed the written certification exam. At the end of the day, what matters most is that everyone gets home safe and sound.
