Crane Safety on Construction Sites by Task Committee on Crane Safety on Construction Sites Pdf

Crane Safety on Construction Sites (ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 93) was written to aid the construction industry in the management of crane operations. Crane operations in construction range from unloading and setting equipment on a one-time basis to using numerous cranes that perform multiple tasks on larger complex projects. This manual addresses these variables by clearly defining and assigning crane management responsibilities. It discusses issues such as safety plans, responsibilities, supervision and management, operations, training, manufacture, crane safety devices, and regulations in some detail as they relate to crane management. Appendixes are provided that list additional resources, manufacturers of crane safety devices, and explore case studies of crane accidents.

Worker Safety in the Construction Industry by Linda Levine Pdf

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The safety of construction workers who toil in close proximity to cranes garnered congressional attention after tower cranes were involved in multiple fatalities at buildings under construction in 2008 (e.g., nine deaths in two incidents in New York City). Additional crane-related fatalities occurred since the House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing on construction worker safety in June 2008. Contents of this report: Fatal and Nonfatal Workplace Injuries; Fatalities in the Construction Industry: Causes of All Private Construction Fatalities; Fatalities Involving Cranes; Crane Safety Standards: The Federal OSHA Standard; Standards of Jurisdictions.
