Teaming up for safety

Guiding operators through the CICA Articulated Mobile Crane On-Road Course.

In the crane industry, precision, expertise, and safety go hand in hand, so making training accessible and engaging is essential. That’s why the Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA) teamed up with one of the sector’s most trusted voices to simplify and support the verification of competency journey for articulated mobile crane operators across the country.

A brand-new, step-by-step instructional video has been produced to guide operators through every phase of the Articulated Mobile Crane (AMC) On-Road Course. From the initial sign-in to the adaptive learning module (Part 1), right through to the final practical component on CrewSafe (Part 2), this video is all about improving access, understanding, and ultimately, safety outcomes.

CICA has collaborated with Kieran Greham, Director of Kieran’s Training. With over 35 years of hands-on industry experience, Kieran is not only a seasoned crane operator and trainer, but also a familiar face with a strong YouTube presence and social media following. His approachable, no-nonsense style and deep respect for crane safety make him the ideal guide for this initiative. He speaks the language of the industry, because he’s lived it.

“Simplifying complexity” was a core driver behind the video’s creation. The two-part structure of the AMC course, while comprehensive, had been flagged by some as a potential barrier. By visually demonstrating each step of the process, the video removes ambiguity and helps operators feel confident and in control of their learning experience. Just as importantly, familiarity and trust played a pivotal role in selecting the right person to front the video. Kieran brings not just expertise but credibility. His passion for lifting industry standards is evident, he is a strong ambassador for the message: respect the machine, respect the process.

Filming took place at Borger Cranes’ yard in Sydney on 24 and 25 March 2025, and CICA extends its sincere thanks to the Borger Cranes team for its support and hospitality, and to Kieran for his enthusiasm and professionalism throughout.

This project is funded by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, supported by the Australian Government.

By combining technical clarity with the voice of lived experience, CICA is proud to deliver a resource that informs and gets alongside operators and those involved in crane operations, because crane safety is everyone’s responsibility.
