A crane is a very dangerous piece of heavy construction equipment used to move beams and other material to significant heights at potential great peril to the worker. Riggers and crane operators have a specific way to communicate so that materials can be moved and placed safely. Failure to follow these rules often results in a fatality or serious injury. Sometimes, a crane can collapse in high winds, resulting in a tragedy.

Getting struck by a backhoe or dump truck is another accident that happens too often on constructions sites. The cause is usually fatigue, carelessness, and failure to follow the specific rules in a Site Safety Plan or other directive.

Similar to crane accidents, a key to safe operation is communication between the heavy equipment operator and the surrounding worker. If the operator knows the worker is present, the operator has a chance to avoid that worker. Without that knowledge, tragedy inevitably results.
