Why Do Crane Accidents
Happen?
• One out of five construction accidents involve cranes.
• Contractors and employers must take all the necessary steps to ensure
that crane operators are trained properly and adequately.
• Many crane accidents are preventable.
• Having some knowledge about their causes may help prevent a lot of
accidents.
• Here are some of the common causes of crane accidents and tips to
prevent them:
Collapses
• Cranes are designed and manufactured with certain weight limits to ensure
that they do not tip over.
• When cranes exceed the maximum weight limits, they may collapse.
• Crane operators must make sure that they do not exceed the crane’s
capacity to carry loads.
Improper Assembling
• One of the main reasons for crane collapses is improper assembling.
• When cranes do not have proper blocking to stabilize the loads, the
unbalanced loads may lead to the crane collapsing.
• Crane assemblies should always be carried out according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
Improper Training
• When crane operators are not given proper training on crane operations
and safety procedures, they may cause serious accidents.
• It is every employer’s responsibility to ensure that all employees are
trained and have completed OSHA safety courses specifically related to
crane operations.
Mechanical Failures
• Mechanical failures can cause serious crane accidents.
• Mechanical failures occur when cranes are not properly maintained.
• There should be routine maintenance to prevent accidents.
Contact With Overhead Power Lines
• A majority of crane accidents are caused by contact with overhead power
lines.
• The current to active power lines should be shut off to prevent
electrocution from accidental contact with them.
• If you or a loved one has been injured in a crane accident,
contact our crane accident lawyers today.
• It is our goal to help each of our clients find the justice
they deserve and obtain compensation for their losses and
suffering.
