Question: Will a tower crane register improve safety in the construction industry?
72% = Yes
21% = No
7% = Don't know
More than two thirds believe it will.
In January this year, the HSE board that a national register of tower cranes should be established. the decision came in response to a number of high profile incidents involving tower cranes in recent years - which have resulted in eight deaths since 2000 - and a recommendation from the Work and Pension Select Committee that such a register is needed. The proposed Notification of Conventional Tower Cranes Regulations would require employers who use conventional tower cranes (those assembled on site) to give certain information to the HSE, which the executive would then make publicly available. The creation of a statutory tower crane registration scheme to improve tower crane safety and public confidence in their safety is likely to be in place by April 2010.
