The crane must have a service book in the cabin where, after being picked up by the UDT, technicians periodically enter, without this the operator should not operate the crane and if he does, he is a moron. Before I became an operator, I trained 220 hours at Corleonis in Rumia and I had to undergo psychological tests and pass a written and oral exam before the UDT inspector, including the construction of the crane and safety rules, as well as the truth and obligations of the operator. The inspector does not climb onto the crane during commissioning, the operator follows his instructions and all irregularities are checked by the operator and he should check everything, including the rope, every day. You can work with a damaged rope, but you need to reduce the amount of maximum load for this rope by counting how many coils are damaged and what is its power at a given moment. But you can also stop working if you are unsure and have to call in a technician who evaluates it and writes it down in the service book. As for the hours is right, 230 hours a month is the norm .. I used to work for the Corleonis company and I can proudly say that the operators trained there are the same ASY … Even if these hours were somehow overwhelmed because it is tiring. But from many years of experience I can say that the work of the operator is interesting, the fact is that in Poland it is not well paid … I greet all the operators of ZII and ZI.
