If two or more tower cranes are operated in a construction site with overlapping zones:
• Provide "Anti-collision system" for the cranes to prevent collision within the
overlapping zone. The functional system testing would be conducted regularly (at least
once a week).
• A system to transmit a continuous audio and visual signal to the operator's cabin of the
tower crane should be available which reminds the operator to slow down a crane
when the crane approaches a zone with the risk of collision.
