CAUSES OF CRANE ACCIDENTS

Cranes are the number one piece of heavy machinery causing them most injuries at construction sites. The reality is disheartening, but the majority of these crane accidents might have been avoided if the operators of them followed the strict safety procedures in place. Those who are in charge of handling these mammoth pieces of equipment are required to undergo adequate training.

When crane operators do not follow safety protocol, or are not trained properly, the lives of anyone near the crane are in harm’s way. Many of the causes for crane accidents at construction sites include:

• Failing to set the crane up properly;
• Choosing the wrong crane for a certain job;
• Improper use of the crane (not its intended purpose);
• Not removing things in the crane’s direct path of movement;
• Failing to consider outdoor elements;
• Pushing a crane past what it is capable of handling
