Crane operator evaluations are just one more piece of data that can be added to the overall big picture. By inputting crane operator evaluations into iRe- portSource, managers can know what their work- force is able to do, in real time, from any location. It offers instant record-keeping, and is one of the most affordable and user-friendly programs on the market, believes Dickinson. From a computer or mobile device, the user can see identifiers tied to an employee ID number. Once the number is input, the system reports criteria for how to find that employee. The user can see all the different areas in which the operator has been trained and certified and his or her safety record. The crane operator evaluations can be done live on a mobile device and instantly become part of the sys- tem. “You can also input notes about a laborer’s productivity and whether he or she is working on time and on budget, and his or her role in the overall project,” says Dickinson.
