Industry Code: 31508
This is a service industry specific to the repair of overhead cranes.
Operation Details:
The type of cranes referred to here operate electrically, hydraulically or manually and run overhead on tracks or beams - usually in a long bay of a warehouse or plant. Some steel shops, for example, have overhead cranes inside the building to move their product from one stage of production to another. The cranes may also run outside on supported tracks to pick up stock piles of material.
Service personnel will use a ladder or scaffold to service the cranes unless the crane is built with a cat walk attached for easy access. The majority of the servicing involves electrical repairs. However, mechanical repairs such as replacing worn out bearings or wheels are common. Small hand tools are used here.
All employers in this industry are members of the Alberta Construction Safety Association (ACSA). Safety associations represent the interests of employers and promote workplace safety through education and other initiatives. Improved workplace safety can result in fewer claims and help lower premiums. A portion of premiums collected is allocated to the association to support these initiatives.
Underwriting Considerations:
