Abstract: / In Hong Kong, and indeed the world, there are still far too many serious accidents relating to crane and lifting operations. Whilst a great deal of preventative effort is being made to help ensure awareness of risks, including through training, there still exists a large gap in knowledge amongst many people within the construction industry. This seminar is an abridged format of Leighton’s “crane appreciation course” that’s purpose is to help plug these gaps and to provide to a wider audience and enhanced awareness of some of the main risks and controls relevant to crane and lifting operations. The seminar will run for around 2 ½ hours and include a case study.
