Crane safety is particularly crucial on our job sites. Working around cranes can be hazardous, so safety protocols must be followed to protect workers, nearby pedestrians, and the fragile equipment itself.

Everyone engaged must understand safety requirements, typical safety hazards to watch out for, and appropriate safety precautions when working with such equipment. Safety must never be neglected or sacrificed in order to execute a task efficiently or swiftly. In other words, safety first.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ recent crane accident analysis, an average of 44 people die in crane-related accidents in the United States each year.

More than 24% of crane accidents occur on construction sites and manufacturing facilities. Nearly 70% of crane accident fatalities happen in the heavy and civil engineering, construction, and specialist trades industries. Additionally, over half of all fatal crane injuries involved the worker being struck by an object or equipment.

The most comment crane accidents occur from:

1. Dropped loads
2. Failure to use a signal person
3. Power lines contact
4. Improper inspections and maintenance
5. Improper assembly or dismantling of the crane
