Since March 2014, Canada's mobile crane industry has been working together to develop a national mobile crane operator DOST, or practical assessment, that complements the existing Red Seal standard. A Demonstration of Skills Test (DOST) will increase mobility for operators, reduce red tape for employers, lower costs for industry and jurisdictions, and improve workplace safety for all. 

Come hear about the past 1.5 year's journey, the process undertaken, who has been involved, what was learned along the way, the product that has been produced, and next steps.

Presentation made by Krista Bax, Executive Director of the Asia Pacific Gateway Skills Table, the organization leading the National Mobile Crane Operator DOST Project, and Allan Bruce, a member of the DOST Project team and 35-year veteran of the construction industry.
