Baranov V.A., Gorbunova L.N.

The results of the analysis of injury and accidents in operating cargo cranes on the basis of: collection of information on accidents, incidents and problem analysis; structuring of accidents, accidents. Causes of increased accidents and injuries are: the low level of technical readiness of facilities for safe operation due to their considerable physical and mental ageing; the unsatisfactory level of organization and functioning of the system of ex-operation, maintenance and repair of equipment in enterprises; reduced liability of managers of enterprises to ensure safety of hazardous production facilities; a lack of professional qualification, low and extremely low discipline of engineering and operating staff; the imperfection of devices and security devices; lack of automation of operations, forced to find operator in hazardous areas; lack of knowledge about the dangerous technological processes, safety performance substances used in the manufacture, incomplete design solutions that ensure safety.
