Crane and Forklift Safety Incidents Report

Three industrial incidents involving cranes and forklifts are summarized: 1. A forklift operator performing a reverse maneuver without signals struck some tubing, causing it to fall and fracture a derrickman's ankle. The work area was narrow and there was no supervision. Lessons are to always use signals and a banksman for mobile equipment and ensure control measures. 2. A crane operator's hand was trapped when a block dropped as he tried to remove a snagged line without communicating. Lessons are to keep hands away from crush points and follow maintenance procedures. When intervened for unsafe acts, all personnel must stop. 3. A chief electrician's finger was trapped inserting cable
