Crane Accidents

Crane Accidents account for a major portion of construction accidents. Thousands of construction workers suffer debilitating personal injuries while working on commercial and private construction sites. Whether the accidents are due to mechanical failure or human error, there is a high potential for serious injuries and death when an accident occurs with a crane on a construction site.

From 1997 to 1999, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) learned of, or had reported to it, a total of 158 accidents involving a crane. Over the three-year period from 1997 through 1999, at least one crane accident has occurred in each month of the three year period.

Following are common kinds of accidents related to construction and crane accidents:

• Scaffolding Accidents
• Hazardous Gases or Liquids
• Defective Machinery
• Fallen Objects
• Mechanical Hazards
• Toxic Exposure
• Slips/Falls
