In addition, scrap parts were not replaced in time, lack of necessary safety protection, poor maintenance and operation, or even poor movement. Damaged parts or structures , safety performance inspection is not standardized, etc.
Envirnmental factor. Lifting operations in high dust, high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, high noise environment, and windy weather. And insufficient light will be distracting. Directly affect the reaction ability of the operator and the stability of the crane's technical performance. Misoperation will increase the chance of illegal operation and cause accidents.
Security management vulnerabilities. Any negligence and insufficiency in safety management is one of the important reasons for bridge crane accidents.
