WORKING AROUND CRANES BEACOMING A PROBLEM-

INJURIES SAY IT ALL!

According to the occupational health and safety laws, no loads should be suspended over any person.
Breaking laws or ignoring them can lead you into great danger. Breaking such laws can also results in
deaths. But still, many people are breaking these rules. But it doesn’t mean that we should neglect our
duties and put all the blame on one person and leave our fate in the hands of few, this is no solution. The
first step to prevent this from happening is to educate the workers. Workers working around suspended
loads should be properly trained and informed about their work.

According to the CFOI report, a total of 307 crane incidents were identified from 1992-2006 involving 16
of the fatal incidents involved tower cranes (5%), and 13 involved floating/barge cranes (4%). This shows
an alarming state of workers getting injured while working around suspended load. Something is needed
to be done in minimizing these daily increasing numbers.
