Not infrequently the Safety
Department receives reports of
‘injuries caused by falling ma-
terial. In the past, these injur-
ies haye been responsible not
only for permanent disabilities
but for fatalities as well.

Add to the accidents reported
the number of “near-misses” in
which material fell without in-
juring anyone, and’ the import-
ance of this particular hazard
becomes increasingly apparent.

Several unsafe conditions or
practices may be responsible for
material falling. These include
unsafe piling or storing, hazard-
ous arrangements, failure of
hoisting operator. Of the fore-
going, failures either human or
mechanical present the greatest
problems.

Judgment Error
Frequently the most rigid in-

spection fails to detect a weal-
ness in metal or cable prior to
breaking, and even the most com-
petent operator can make an er-
ror in judgment or momentarily
lost control of a machine. With
these points in mind, the unsafe
practice of working or walking
under suspended loads cannot be
too strongly condemned.

In the accompanying posed
photograph is shown a typical
example of the unnecessary risks
taken around hoisting equipment.
The workman, of course, was not
directly under the load as the
picture seems to indicate; how-
ever, it illustrates how accidents
of this type can occur when a
load unexpectedly falls.

visability of replacing the ambul-

WCB approved “basket” type
