Safety is always a concern, especially when it comes to moving large and heavy objects in various work environments. With over 20 years as a crane operator, I’ve worked with people from many different trades and they all say the same thing, “Let’s do this as safe and as quickly as possible.”
One of the largest components of crane related accidents involves faulty equipment or simple equipment failure, usually associated with lack of inspection. Our equipment goes through an extensive inspection before it even leaves our facility and our track record of ZERO equipment failures is largely due to this inspection and keeping up on scheduled maintenance requirements set by the manufacturers and OSHA.
The other aspect involved in Crane related accidents or injuries are human error. Whether it’s the operator or the ground crew, ensuring that all parties involved are trained in their duties is paramount. Communication is at the core of safety and that’s why we always meet with the ground crew of every site to ensure they understand what is happening, how it’s going to happen, as well as their duties during the operation.
These and many more standard operating procedures have contributed to our record of ZERO accidents, injuries, malfunctions, or any other recordable infractions. So if you’re looking for a safe and efficient operator, go with the safest, and most experienced provider in your area, Erin Cranes.
