\u201cWE DO PROMOTE INDUSTRY\u2019s BEST PRACTICES IN LIFTING SAFETY TO SET OUR OWN BENCHMARK\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLifting safety involves implementing proper techniques, equipment, and protocols to ensure that loads are lifted and moved without causing harm to people, equipment, or the environment. This applies to both manual lifting by individuals and mechanical lifting using cranes, hoists, forklifts, or other machinery\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

It is mainly used for lifting heavy objects and transporting them to other places.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Know the General Risk of Lifting Activity using Cranes: Likely occurrences – <\/strong>What are the most common crane accidents?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Consequences<\/strong> – <\/strong>What are the most common injuries of crane accident?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Lifting Accident case Studies<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Case study 1: Thane Crane Collapse (August 2023):<\/strong> In August 2023, a massive crane collapsed at a highway construction site in Thane, Maharashtra, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 workers and injuring three others.
