What must be done if a crane has been involved in a near-miss incident?

Following a near-miss incident involving a crane, it is crucial to conduct an investigation to determine the causes and take corrective actions. This step is essential because understanding what led to the near-miss can help in preventing future occurrences.

Investigating the incident allows the operator and management to analyze contributing factors such as equipment performance, environmental conditions, operational procedures, and human factors. By identifying these causes, the appropriate corrective actions can be implemented, which may include retraining operators, updating safety protocols, or performing maintenance on the crane.

Making these evaluations and adjustments enhances safety measures and ensures a stronger adherence to operating standards, ultimately safeguarding the well-being of all personnel on-site. This proactive approach fosters a culture of safety and accountability, reducing the likelihood of injuries or accidents in the future.
