Electrocutions, Collapsing Booms & Other Dangers in Crane Accidents
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the most frequent cause of all crane accidents is the boom coming in contact with energized power lines. Such electrocutions account for nearly 45 percent of crane-related injuries. It is crucial for construction companies to implement stringent safety protocols and regular training sessions for crane operators to mitigate these risks and ensure a safer working environment for all employees.
Other common causes of crane accidents involve:
- Failure to Deploy Stabilizing Outriggers on vehicle-mounted cranes, resulting in the crane overturning
- Collapsing Crane Booms
- Failure of the Lifting Device under the crane’s hook
- Workers Crushed by the Counterweight
- Dropped Loads
- Cranes in Motion that strike passersby
- Collisions with Other Vehicles or Objects
- Overloading of the Crane
- Insufficient Crane Operator Training
- Poor Equipment Maintenance
- Improper Safety Inspections

Understanding New York's Crane Safety Regulations
New York has some of the most stringent crane safety regulations in the country to protect workers and the public. These regulations are enforced by the New York City Department of Buildings, which oversees crane operations, ensuring compliance through regular inspections and strict permitting requirements. Operators must be certified and undergo rigorous training to handle these complex machines safely. These regulations are designed not only to prevent accidents but also to ensure that should an incident occur, the response is swift and the risks of severe injury minimized. Understanding and complying with these regulations is crucial for any construction operation within New York City.
Additionally, construction companies are required to submit detailed plans for crane erection and disassembly. These plans must detail every safety measure being taken and are reviewed meticulously by city officials to identify potential hazards. Operators face punitive actions if they fail to adhere to these safety standards, underscoring the city's commitment to maintaining a safe urban environment. Companies operating cranes in New York must continuously evaluate and update their safety protocols to remain compliant and protect their workforce and the general public.
