A field-ready self-audit for reliability teams, safety officers, and inspectors. 45+ line items across seven sections, aligned to CSA B167 Part 6, CMAA 70/74 and ASME B30.2 — the same framework Crane Advisory Group uses on paid gap assessments.
- 7 sections: Program, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Safety Devices, Operator/Rigging, Environment.
- Frequency legend on every item (Frequent · Monthly · Quarterly · Annual).
- Scoring guidance + prioritized next-steps section.
- Printable, 3-page US-Letter PDF.
Which requirements actually apply
Canadian overhead crane requirements vary by jurisdiction, equipment type and workplace. Provincial regulations may incorporate specific editions of CSA B167 or other standards, while owner and site requirements can be more stringent. CAG helps owners identify the requirements that apply to the site and equipment before recommendations are made.
CAG provides independent, owner-side advisory review. CAG is not a regulator, inspection authority or certifying body, and does not certify or guarantee compliance. Where professional engineering certification is legally required, it must be provided by a qualified professional engineer licensed in the applicable jurisdiction.
Compliance note: regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction. Standard references and wording on this page are general; the requirements that apply to your site are those in the edition of CSA B167 adopted by your jurisdiction, together with its own regulation. Confirm the adopted edition and current regulatory text through the official source for your province or territory before acting on this information.
Provincial requirements and adopted editionsWhy we made this
Most PM programs fail the first thing an auditor asks.
Every gap assessment Crane Advisory Group runs starts the same way — the reliability team knows the cranes cold, but the program on paper cannot answer a regulator's or insurer's basic questions: which cranes carry which duty class, which PM frequencies are defensible, which safety-critical items are open and overdue.
This checklist is the seven-part scoring framework we use to triage an unfamiliar fleet in a single day. Use it internally to score your own program before your next insurance renewal or capital request. If the results are ugly — that's what an independent second opinion is for.
