2025 Second Alert HiPo#01 MVI Rollover
On Wednesday 8th of January at 13:14hrs, a crane operator was on route to a work location in Sadad (Bahja area) driving on a graded road traveling together with a portable tearoom transport trailer behind at a safe distance. The graded road was well compacted and even, however, the crane operator lost control while negotiating a sharp bend/curve on the road at an unsafe speed. This resulted in the crane tipping on its side. The IVMS sec-sec report shows that the crane operator was driving at a speed of 56 km/h while negotiating the curve. No persons were injured as a result of this MVI.
Always adhere to the manufacturer's recommended speed limits and ensure crane operators are trained to understand the safe travel speed for various conditions. Always perform a mental and visual risk assessment during a journey, considering the type of vehicle driven and road conditions. Always clearly discuss the job commencement plan with other operational support units, so they can plan their trip accordingly, without feeling pressure to rush or take shortcuts. Always comply with road safety standards.
The crane operator was driving at an unsafe speed while negotiating a sharp bend on a graded road The crane operator experienced delayed reaction & poor judgment underestimating the risks of negotiating such a sharp bend at an unsafe speed. The driver is familiar with the road and felt overconfident, leading to a false sense of security. Lack of job commencement communication leading to the crane operator assuming that he was delaying the operation which resulted in traveling at high speeds to arrive at the work site quicker.
