Accident Prevention
Seven crane accident prevention lessons learned videos assist activities in raising the level of safety awareness among their personnel involved in weight handling operations. The target audience for these videos is crane operations and rigging personnel and their supervisors. These videos provide a very useful mechanism for emphasizing the impact that the human element can have on safe weight handling operations.

WHE Program Oversight Fundamentals
Reporting, analyzing, and resolving near misses and other surveillance data allows an activity to identify and reduce the impact of the inherent hazards on its people and equipment. This presentation demonstrates the need to establish a culture throughout the activity to help identify and minimize any potential events that may grow out of the inherent hazards of day-to-day work. The video starts with two real-life scenarios to help understand the type and severity of events that need to be avoided. It goes on to discuss how, through data collection and trending, many of these inherent hazards can be identified and eliminated. Three historical models, developed over many years of study and evaluation, are provided to support this concept and thereby minimizing the opportunities for any type of major event to occur at all. Finally, a few clarifying points and definitions about Navy crane accidents and a near misses will be provided.
