The NCCCO<\/a> Foundation and the National Safety Council (NSC) through its Work to Zero initiative partnered to survey<\/a> certified crane operators and inspectors regarding safety hazards in the crane industry.<\/p>\n

The goal was to identify the most common hazardous situations these workers are exposed to, the main causes and contributors to workplace injuries, and to understand their use and perceptions of safety technology solutions used to eliminate or mitigate these risks.<\/p>\n

The results of the survey<\/a> are now available in the newly released report, Understanding the Current State of Safety Hazards in the Crane Industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCCCO<\/a> Foundation welcomed the opportunity work with the National Safety Council on a research project that we believe will have a positive impact on the safety of everyone working in and around cranes\u201d, said T.J. Cantwell, NCCCO<\/a> Foundation Executive Director.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Safety Council\u2019s research expertise combined with the NCCCO<\/a> Foundation\u2019s knowledge of the crane industry allowed us to design a survey that resulted in a significant amount of new and useful data on the hazards that face those in the industry every day,\u201d Cantwell added.<\/p>\n

The NCCCO<\/a> Foundation intends to share the report\u2019s findings throughout the year and focus its safety education outreach on the top hazards identified in the report.<\/p>\n
