What Crane Supervisor tracking involves

Crane Supervisor training supports the implementation and control of a lift plan on site. It is distinct from planning the lift as Appointed Person or signalling as a slinger.

Why the dates get missed

  • Lift-team roles are frequently conflated
  • Scheme card categories and endorsements matter
  • Supervisors may be shared across projects
  • Renewal testing must be planned around lifting programmes

See every Crane Supervisor record at once

Workers down the side, requirements across the top. Crane Supervisor sits alongside everything else your organisation assigns, with the status worked out from the expiry date rather than typed by hand.

Told before it lapses

Reminders go out ahead of the date, to the people who can do something about it. You choose how far ahead and who receives them.

The certificate lives with the date

Attach a photo or PDF to the worker record so the proof and the date cannot drift apart. When a client asks for evidence, it is already assembled.

Tracking Crane Supervisor across a workforce

Project allocation alongside expiry makes supervisor capacity visible during concurrent crane operations and planned leave.

A spreadsheet counts the Appointed Person, supervisor and slinger under one lifting heading. It cannot show that no current supervisor is free for a second site.

What to record against each worker

  • Scheme, card category and expiry
  • Card image
  • Formal project appointment
  • Experience review
  • Related lift-role records kept separately

Typical renewal cycle

Crane Supervisor cards generally follow the chosen competence scheme's renewal cycle; verify category and printed expiry. Always use the date on the certificate or card in front of you — schemes and pathways differ, and free-text “current” cells hide the problem until someone is turned away.

A note on requirements

FieldClear tracks the Crane Supervisor requirement and appointments you enter. It does not approve lift plans or determine competence for a lift, and it is not legal advice.

You can keep using Excel. But Excel won’t chase expiries for you.

Excel is flexible, familiar and free, which is exactly why almost every contractor starts there. The limitation isn’t the spreadsheet — it’s that a spreadsheet can only tell you what someone last typed into it.

Plenty of contractors run a perfectly good spreadsheet for years. The question isn’t whether Excel works — it’s whether anyone is checking it the week something quietly expires.

Questions people ask before signing up

Can I get reminders before certificates expire?

Yes. The system monitors expiry dates and sends reminders in advance. You choose how far ahead reminders are sent and who receives them.

Can I store certificates?

Yes. Attach supporting evidence such as PDFs and images to worker records, so the certificate sits alongside the expiry date rather than in a separate folder.

Can I import my existing Excel training matrix?

Yes. Upload an Excel or CSV file, map the columns to workers, roles, qualifications and expiry dates, then preview the result. Nothing is created until you confirm the import.

Does the software tell me which qualifications are legally required?

No. The system helps you track the requirements your organisation assigns. You remain responsible for determining what applies to your workers and activities. We do not provide legal or health and safety advice.

Can I track subcontractors?

Yes. Workers can be recorded as employees, subcontractors, agency workers or other worker types, and you can filter the matrix by type.
