With the passage of time, the application of cranes has become extensive. Crane accidents have become a problem that the construction industry needs to face every day. 2006, the crane accident probably resulted in 72 deaths, but in second years, the figure accelerated to about 90. The incidence of crane related accidents is on the rise. So what are the causes of these accidents? Mechanical failure, operator negligence and inadequate safety check may result in casualties. In order to eliminate death related to cranes, OSHA appeals to all employers to take preventive measures.
In all kinds of lifting equipment, the crane with the most accidents and mortality is the truck mounted hydraulic crane. As operators, there are certain safety standards, and it is necessary to avoid fatal accidents. The operator should be able to identify all the dangerous signs. Electrical, ground conditions and risk of falling are areas of danger.
Before using hoisting equipment, operators should carry out training on cargo preparation, hydraulic truck operation and load safety.
PPE is personal protective equipment, including hard hat and backlight stripes, which must be worn at the beginning of work.
Overloading can cause accidental rollover. When lifting heavy objects, it should avoid exceeding rated lifting capacity.
Ensure that goods must be secured before lifting. The hook and chain must be properly fixed around the material to be hoisted.
There is no sudden movement to avoid the jitter of the equipment. Step by step, lift the lifting hydraulic arm.
Crane hoists and stabilizers are widely used. Do not hang goods on cranes or workers' cabs, or they may lift people and other things.
If the operator's field of vision is limited, the operator can use the signal. When the operator hoist the goods, no one is allowed to ride on  the load.
Once workers have accidents, the lives of enterprises and workers will have an impact. The company's production level or company's ability to generate revenue will be greatly reduced, which is the cause of the company's financial difficulties. In order to reduce accidents, the government and the private sector have launched some training on crane operation, and estimated the active participation of operators and staff. These training can help them prevent irresponsible accidents, cause serious injury or death  forever.
Some people think that bridge crane operators are those who operate large construction cranes, tower cranes, ship cranes and so on. This kind of cognition is wrong. These operators can operate any type of cranes, including bridge cranes. Without professional training, it would be very dangerous to operate any type of cranes. How to become a professional bridge crane operator? The key is to have a lot of operational experience and hands-on experience. But today's OSHA stipulates that now cranes operators need not only  a lot of experience, but also some technical knowledge about cranes. Perhaps many old operators have years of experience in controlling cranes, but they don't know what it is to do.
A qualified bridge crane operator can not only know how to operate the system, but also master a great deal of technical knowledge and safe operation skills. So they need to take a test before being an operator. Only by getting the operator certified by the crane operator can they become a qualified operator, so many companies don't care if you have a lot of experience when recruiting operators, but you see if you have a professional certification, Because when you operate a crane, there are no instructions for you to read.
So some employers try to train crane professional training, while teaching operator safety crane operation procedures, the combination of the two, so that the operator has both professional knowledge, also have a lot of experience. However, there are still loopholes in this way, first of all, not professional knowledge professors are generally not PS, secondly, the operator is not a specified crane and model when the operator is trained manually, although the crane your operator will use in the future may be a specific type of your own company, but most importantly A good operator should have a systematic training.
