Serious Flaws In Tower Crane Rescue
I��ve just stood a phone call from a reliable source dedicated to Tower Crane Rescue.
It seems that inside two reported instances where rescue may be urgently required (both of which were london), the rescue efforts have apparently been a bare shambles in instances because rescue efforts were marred by fire crews not being trained for such incidents and lifting equipment not just being released.
If it is the truth, all used tower cranes operators are in serious risk of the substantial delay in emergency rescue response, which will obviously be considered a very real threat to their lives in some instances. That is totally unacceptable, surely tower cranes operators use a right to a rescue which might be performed in as reasonable time as it can be, particularly the emergency services generate within minutes however are struggle to start a rescue as a result of deficit of co-ordination, expertise or suitable rescue equipment from the two site plus the rescue teams, including air response who have been also involved!
The decision came from an individual who had upfront expertise in the recent tower crane rescue operation in Dalston, London whereby another tower cranes operator would have to be made possible from an adjacent site, to climb a rather low crane as apparently many of the rescue teams where ��frightened of heights�� or weren��t qualified to climb a tower cranes of approximately 25 meters high.
Good think there were another used tower cranes operator close by in Dalston who might be asked to aid the rescue of some other operator.
It is a much more severe and unacceptable situation that needs to be addressed immediately by whoever is deemed in charge of the and safety of tower Crane Operators, if owners in the crane, your website management or even the CPA along with the Strategic Forum for Tower Crane Safety.
