Please watch the below OSHA videos for examples of real-life, everyday hazards for crane operators and riggers, and the steps to take to prevent them from happening to your employees and organization.
Video 1: Cranes & Power Lines
“This video illustrates the importance of sight lines involving crane operations. It emphasizes the visual risks of not only where the crane starts the lift, but where it will be finishing the lift. Power lines are a common hazard as they blanket the landscape, especially in urban areas. Once again, proper training and safety protocols, like the points mentioned in this video, need to be in place to prevent accidents like these. An active safety culture could have prevented this from happening.”
