Program Overview

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Fact Sheet from 2011 to 2017, the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) reported a total of 297 total crane-related deaths, an average of 42 per year over this 7-year period. From 2011 to 2017, 43 percent of fatal work injuries involving cranes took place in the private construction industry. Specialty trade contractors and heavy and civil engineering construction had the most fatal injuries involving cranes in private construction. The manufacturing industry accounted for another 24 percent of crane and rigging related deaths. Looking at those statistics alone, the need for management to be trained in crane and rigging is critical.

Cranes are usually the largest piece of equipment on a construction site.  Cranes are commonly used on construction sites to lift and place the heavy objects and materials. While cranes are an invaluable tool, they can also result in major safety incidents if not operated safely. More accidents are caused by cranes than any other piece of equipment. Because of their size and purpose, cranes and hoisting activities represent a high demand for constant safety and awareness. 

It has been found that the majority of crane and rigging accidents can be attributed to either a lack of proper training, inexperienced individuals in the hoisting operations, or individuals who ignore common crane safety standards and regulations.
