Operation of a crane requires extensive training and knowledge. With more than 125,000 cranes operating in the United States at any given moment, many people can be at risk of crane-related industrial accidents. State and federal regulations have been put in place to protect workers and the general public from crane accidents, and OSHA has developed specific guidelines to ensure worker safety on construction sites. Owners, and general and subcontractors are responsible for taking a number of safety measures to protect their workers; however, this does not always happen.
