Testimonials
“Crane Institute of America (CIA) has been a great experience. The instructors don’t waste any time getting right into answering the questions you may have about operating cranes and rigging loads. I would recommend any organization sending their operators or potential operators to CIA.”

Site Safety Assessment
An accident can have serious, long-term effects on the health and stability of a company. Many hazards overlooked on a daily basis by insiders can be revealed by the objective eye of an experienced third party. During our on-site visit we will assess your personnel, material handling practices, records and existing documentation for compliance with federal, state and insutry requirements. Concluding our evaluation, an exit interview will be conducted followed by a written assessment and recommendations report. A thorough safety analysis of your workplace helps prevent accidents before they happen.

Our staff provides representation in ASME/ANSI standards development, federal and state rule-making advisory groups and national associations and is able to provide interpretation of standards and regulations.
