SafeWork tower crane safety alert
SafeWork New South Wales has issued a safety bulletin relating to tower crane erection, dismantling and climbing following an incident in Sydney in September, in which three men were injured when a jib collapsed while they were dismantling it. The alert also references a further incident this time last year while a crew was installing a climbing frame. See three crane erectors injured
