摘要:Construction of high-rise buildings, large-scale apartment blocks, or construction in urban areas demands increasingly greater use of cranes. In the construction industry, the use of crane is common and very important regardless of the size of the project. Cranes generally use cable and pulley to deliver a mechanical advantage when it is necessary to lift heavy loads. They have the potential to move materials of different sizes that play an extraordinarily important role in the construction site. The crane operator is responsible for controlling the crane effectively and follow the safety guidelines. Life loss, injury, and property damage are the implications that will occur if the crane maintenance specifications and operations are not correctly practiced. As the result of crane accident happened every year, this paper seeks to identify the causes of crane accident at construction sites in Malaysia. With the aim that has been stated, this paper summarizes statistic and causes of crane accident of most cited papers. Thus, the causes that lead to accident from previous researcher will be highlighted. Outcomes from the study demonstrate that operational and technical problem are the major causes of crane accidents at construction site in Malaysia. Exploration of this paper will help the construction industry especially in crane monitoring for a better safety performance and regulation at all construction projects.
