WorkCover NSW accelerates tower crane inspections
WorkCover New South Wales has brought forward a tower crane safety inspection programme that was due to begin at the end of the year.
The move follows a fire on a Sydney tower crane last November which caused the jib to drop. Click here to see:

WorkCover NSW said the tower crane verification inspections will also review existing risk controls such as crane pre-assembly and pre-use inspection systems in addition to the physical checks.
