Houston Crane Accident Lawyer

Although cranes make construction workers’ lives much easier and help perform work that wouldn’t otherwise be possible, there is an increased risk of workplace danger if safety procedures aren’t followed or equipment isn’t used and maintained properly. Kherkher Garcia Crane Injury Lawyers offer experienced representation and skilled legal guidance for workers injured in a crane accident.According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), an estimated 225,000 cranes are in operation across America every day.  More than 250,000 crane workers are at risk for crane-related injuries every day they go to work.

Sadly, due to the nature of crane operations and the height at which crane operators work, many accidents are fatal. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that an average of 44 people die in crane-related accidents in the U.S. each year. Many more workers are injured from falling objects and collapsed crane structures.

According to Health and Safety Magazine, here are several ways to avoid crane injuries:

• Inspect cranes according to manufacturer’s guidelines
• Monitor the ground under the crane and look for signs of unstable ground.
• Always ensure crane operators are properly trained and fully qualified.
• Crane operators, spotters, riggers, supervisors, and construction workers working near the crane need to maintain clear communication.
• Monitor wind speed, travel distance, power line locations, and obstructions
• Do not exceed the crane manufacturer’s recommended load chart.
• Use spotters as needed and notify workers when a lift begins

Crane accidents result in serious injuries that severely impact workers and their families.
