The two most common situational risks directly causing injuries in the crane industry were falls from height and being struck by a falling object, according to a recent survey of crane operators and inspectors. The most common systemic risks contributing to injuries, however, were heat illness and fatigue, respondents told the National Safety Council and the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators Foundation. Three out of four respondents said they were likely or very likely to be exposed to heat illness on the job, and 58 percent said the same about fatigue, while 55 percent said they were likely to be exposed to a falling object.
