| Abstract: |
The recent rash of crane accidents across the United States, and even internationally, has raised the public’s awareness of the potential hazards posed by crane use in the construction industry. This paper will provide a broad overview of the rapidly changing regulations relating to crane operations, as well as review crane accident statistics, the causes of milestone crane accidents, and summarize new regulations at local and national levels. |
