Injuries Caused by Cranes

Crane accidents account for numerous injuries and deaths each year. Serious injuries and fatalities occur when cranes are not inspected or used properly. Workers are struck by overhead loads or caught within the crane’s swing radius. Crane accidents occur when the boom of a crane or its load contact a power line, or as a result of exceeding the load with respect to the crane’s rated capacity, wrapping hoist ropes or chains around the load, or moving loads over workers.

Crane accidents typically occur due to the improper inspection of:
  • Improper crane control inspection
  • Moving loads directly over other individuals
  • Exceeding the crane’s load capacity
  • Wrapping ropes or chains around the load
