Radical improvements in crane safety

摘要

In a tight world economy, there is no place for unreliability. This is true of all fields, including cranes. To keep cranes shipshape, in a constant state of readiness, and properly maintained is no longer desirable - it is simply vital. Question: How do you make them safe and reliable? Answer: By introducing quality crane safety management. And to do so, one key weapon, and particularly effective one - International crane standards. Through my job, that has taken me to practically every industrialized country in the world. I have become a fervent advocate of international crane standards. Having seen them at work, I have seen the advantages they can bring to the crane industry in terms of safety, of reputation and in costs. And, what is true for cranes is certainly true for a good number of similar industries.
