They Got Lucky… But Will You? Why Lifting Safety Can’t Be Ignored

Описание: In this real site footage, a crane load falls unexpectedly during lifting operations—missing nearby workers by just a few feet. Fortunately, no one was injured, but it could have resulted in a serious or fatal accident.

This video is intended for educational and training purposes, to highlight the critical importance of proper rigging, pre-lift inspection, exclusion zones, and competent personnel in lifting operations.

Why It Happened (Possible Contributing Factors):

Improper or damaged rigging gear

Inadequate pre-lift inspection

Overloaded crane or unbalanced load

Communication failure between rigger and operator

Workers standing under or near a suspended load

How to Prevent It:
✅ Always inspect lifting gear and slings before use
✅ Ensure proper load balancing and secure rigging
✅ Establish and enforce exclusion zones around suspended loads
✅ Conduct toolbox talks before critical lifts
✅ Use certified operators and trained riggers
✅ Never allow workers under or near a suspended load

Let this incident be a wake-up call—next time, someone might not be so lucky.
