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
