I read that most crane accidents aren't from gear failure, and it made me rethink a lot

Found a safety report from the NCCCO that said over 80% of incidents are due to human error, like bad communication or planning. I always thought equipment checks were the main thing, but this shows we need to focus more on the crew talk before the lift. Anyone else shift their safety focus after seeing a stat like that?

That 80% human error stat from the NCCCO is wild. It makes sense that planning and talk are the weak link, not the steel. Really changes how you look at a job site.

Jessica902 is right, that stat makes you realize the crew talk is EVERYTHING.
