SafeCrane has been created by the Crane Association of New Zealand (Inc.) to provide guidance on how to create a safe workplace for cranes.
We know there is a lot of information spread over a large number of sources out there and so we have placed the majority of those resources in one area to assist you in making your workplace a safer place.

Safe crane operation

"Human error" the greatest cause of crane accidents

Cranes are dynamic machines. They demand and deserve the respect and safety consciousness of everyone associated with their use, maintenance and operation.

People are the biggest influence on safe working conditions. The single most important factor in preventing injury and death on the job is having competent and reliable personnel, who are safety conscious.

Competent and reliable people are those who:

Have acquired through a combination of qualifications, training or experience the knowledge & skill to perform the task required;

  • Take pride in themselves and their work;
  • Are mentally alert and at their physical best;
  • Are knowledgeable about and have a healthy respect for the powerful machines they operate or work with.
  • Effective instruction and training in the basic safety principles of crane operation and accident prevention measures are essential and vital requirements for all people involved with cranes.
