Preventing Iowa Construction Accidents: OSHA Crane Safety Regulations

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established strict regulations regarding the safety and maintenance of cranes. These regulations are meant to prevent a serious crane accident in Iowa.

Some of OSHA's regulations regarding the safety and maintenance of cranes include mandates on:

testing a crane's hoist and its upper limits switch;
ensuring that employees cannot walk within the crane's swing radius;
checking outriggers to see that they are properly assembled and stable; and
creating a plan for lifting loads.

Furthermore, OSHA crane safety regulations provide standards for crane modifications, clearance from power lines, lighting, hoists, inspections and overloading. If you have questions regarding OSHA crane safety regulations or believe that a potential violation played a role in your crane accident in Iowa, you can consult an experienced Iowa construction accident lawyer.

If you have been injured in a crane accident in Iowa, and the accident was a result of someone's failure to follow OSHA crane safety regulations, then you may be eligible for compensation in a personal injury claim. In a claim, you may be compensated for your medical expenses, any pain that you have suffered and any wages that you may have lost.

An Iowa construction accident lawyer can help you to file your claim and gather medical records, witness statements and other documents to substantiate your claim that an OSHA violation resulted in your injuries.
