NJ Crane Accident Attorneys
Cranes are used frequently at construction sites as a means to lift and lower heavy objects that can include iron, timber, steel, and other various machine parts. Operating a crane requires extensive training and knowledge of standard safe operating procedures to reduce the risk of unnecessary injury. Despite specific training and the implementation of important safety guidelines, mistakes still occur that can cause crane accidents capable of resulting in horrific injuries to victims.
New Jersey crane accidents can result from defective equipment parts, improper handling or operation, collapse or tipping of the crane, objects falling from the crane, electrocution from working near power lines, workers falling from the crane, or excessive crane speed for the existing circumstances. In some cases, the fault of crane accidents can be the result of negligent supervision by contractors who ignore unsafe conditions for the sake of getting projects done faster. To help ameliorate the risk of accidents and injury, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has made a safety video available to work site superintendents, which discusses some of the hazards and risks involved in crane operations.
