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.
