Human error cited in fatal crane accident By Pervaiz Shallwani
OSHA did not issue citations in the accident, but cited violations, including failure to keep a 10-foot separation from power lines, lack of proper warnings on equipment and no engineering survey for the project.
Throughout the United States in 2001, 14 crane and tower operators died on the job, according to the most recent data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2002, 128 workers died from contact with overhead power lines.------------------------------------------- posted 6:43 AM :: reference link ::
