Crane Safety – Spanish

An unbalanced load or crane collapse can cause death to the operator, other construction workers, can cause damage to property or equipment.
Workplan: Lift Plan for Critical Lifts
Most crane collapses, failures, injuries, and deaths can be prevented by using a lift plan. All lifts require at least some planning – how much does the load weigh, what’s the capacity of the crane – but critical lifts require more planning and oversight to ensure a safe and successful lift.
Focus On: Crane Safety
Working with cranes, either operating or working around them exposes workers to the hazards of lifted and moving loads and equipment, shock and electrocution hazards from overhead powerlines, and the falling or collapse of the crane itself. The good news is there are things you can do immediately and in the long-term to keep your workers safe and equipment in safe working condition.
