SAFETY Breaking the taboo - Hoist, UK
“It is impossible to say if the amount of crane related steel accidents has increased or decreased,” says Michael Wright, head of health, safety and environment for the United Steelworkers of America (USW) labour union. “There aren’t good enough statistics other than for fatalities. Also the numbers are too small to draw a statistical conclusion. But any accident and especially every fatality is a tragedy. We don’t care if they increased or decreased. It doesn’t matter to family members who lost a loved one if there are others as well. We aren’t satisfied until no one has died or was seriously injured on the job,” Wright adds.------------------------------------------- posted 6:22 AM :: reference link ::
