Our Management Legal Liability course covers everything from law and legislation to “what” is the purpose of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Employers will often be held liable for the conduct of their employees. Even if the employer had no intention or motive for harm and played no physical role in the harm. To understand why you must understand two basic concepts “employer/employee
responsibilities and liabilities” and understand minimum compliance by implementing management control and workplace safety inspections.
• The practice of occupational health and safety, as well as the OHSA, is one of those ‘things’ which impose responsibilities and/or obligations on employers, and, by ignoring those duties, employers continuously put themselves at risk. Failure to fulfill these legal responsibilities employers, and employees could be prosecuted both under civil and criminal law, which may result in fines and/or even imprisonment.
Successful candidates credited with this unit standard can:
• Explain the basic principles of the Act and the accompanying Regulations
• Explain the requirements for minimum compliance stipulated in the Act.
• Interpret the management controls required to achieve compliance
• Explain the obligations of managers in terms of communication and training

What is a Gantry Crane? A gantry crane is a crane built atop a gantry, which is a structure used to straddle an object or workspace. They can range from enormous “full” gantry cranes, capable of lifting some of the heaviest loads in the world, to small shop cranes, used for tasks such as lifting automobile engines out of vehicles. They are also called portal cranes, the “portal” being the empty space straddled by the gantry.
However, a gantry crane is like a bridge crane, but instead of moving on suspended runways, the crane uses legs to support the bridge, trolley, and hoist. These legs travel on rails that are embedded in, or on top of the floor or ground structure. If a crane operator is trained properly, pendant and radio controls can both be perfectly safe methods for controlling and operating a crane. Training is a vital issue and DMR 18(11) prohibits the operation of gantry cranes by untrained persons.
