How do Accidents occur?
• Instability – unsecured
load, load capacity
exceeded, or ground not
level or too soft
• Lack of communication the point of operation is a
distance from the crane
operator or not in full view
of the operator
• Lack of training
• Inadequate maintenance
or inspection
• Contact with powerlines
Two Leading Causes: Stability – tip & Structural – bends / breaks
