Industrial Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment of Portable and Overhanging Lifting Machines with Practical Operations

As one of the most noticeable objects on any industrial sites and a symbol of modern operations, cranes possess the capacity of lifting heavy loads and maneuvering the loads over long spans. When properly located on a site, cranes can strategically lift and lower loads to virtually any desired location on a site. Unfortunately, when large numbers of cranes have been dispatched to an Industrial site, the hazard exposure also increases for workers who work with, around or under these cranes. As the part of this dissertation hazard identification will carried out with the help of checklist and different mathematical methodology with respect to various lifting machines and their control measures will also be given in this work, to reduce the number of accidents and improved safe work conditions in industry for using this engineering tool this is the objective of this project work. The Second objective of this study was to examine the descriptions of accidents related to Lifting machines and other serious factors and then identify the direct causes and contributing factors of these accidents.
