Alberta Crane Operator Exam Practice
Questions
1. According to the Alberta OHS Code Part
6, at what minimum rated load capacity do
extensive regulatory requirements for
commercial lifting devices officially apply?
• A) 1,000 kilograms
, • B) 1,500 kilograms
• C) 2,000 kilograms
• D) 2,500 kilograms
☑VERIFIED ANSWER: C) 2,000 kilograms.
Rationale: Part 6 of the Alberta OHS Code
officially applies to lifting devices with a
rated capacity of 2,000 kilograms or more.
This is a key regulatory threshold to
remember .
2. You are hoisting a load near an energized
overhead powerline verified at 138 kV.
Based on Alberta OHS Code Schedule 4,
what is the most accurate safe limit of
approach distance?
• A) 3.0 metres
• B) 3.5 metres
, • C) 4.0 metres
• D) 5.0 metres
☑VERIFIED ANSWER: C) 4.0 metres.
Rationale: Schedule 4 specifies approach
distances based on voltage. A 138 kV line
falls within the 4.0-metre clearance bracket.
This is a critical safety regulation for crane
operations .
3. When selecting a non-rotating hoist line
for a mobile crane operation, what is the
mandatory safety factor required by
Alberta OHS Code Part 21 relative to its
ultimate breaking strength?
• A) 2 to 1
• B) 3.5 to 1
• C) 5 to 1
, • D) 10 to 1
☑VERIFIED ANSWER: C) 5 to 1.
Rationale: The OHS Code Part 21 mandates
a 5 to 1 safety factor for non-rotating hoist
lines. Different safety factors apply to other
types of lines (e.g., a 10:1 factor for
personnel lifting) .
4. According to the Alberta Apprenticeship
and Industry Training (AIT) parameters,
how many distinct "Periods" of training
and hours are required for the Mobile
Crane Operator program?
• A) 2 periods of 1,000 hours each
• B) 3 periods (1620 hrs, 1800 hrs, 1620
hrs)
• C) 4 periods of 2,000 hours each
