10. ACCIDENT REPORT
Date: October 20, 2008
Location: The Lake Bridge, Palace of HH Chairman of the Municipality of Dubai
Description:
At about 9:00 AM two crane operators attempted to lift a 40,000 lb piling off a barge and
onto another work barge. Mr. smith was operating the crane and Mr. Jones was
rigging. The load exceeded the crane’s capacity and consequently the tracks rose off
the ground(it did not tip over).
The operator, with over forty years of experience, approximately twenty-five of which
were with the company, did not panic. He regained control of the crane by swinging
and lowering the load to the lake without injury to personnel or damage to the crane.
After the accident he acknowledged that he had failed to properly analyze the load.
Contributing Factors:
1. The weight of the load was 9000 lbs over the rated capacity of the crane.
2. The operator did not consult the load charts and was not aware of the load’s radius
prior to making the pick.
3. No supervisor was present during the lift.
4. The load charts were in the cab but the page for the specific boom length was
missing.
Corrective Measures:
1. Supervision must be present during all lifts where the load exceeds 80% of the rated
capacity of the crane.
2. All cranes are being inspected to verify that they are equipped with complete load
charts.
