I hope you enjoy and appreciate the honesty in this video. This situation could have gone very badly. Go ahead and join in. Tell us what mistakes you've made at work. Also, this page shows all the other Friday Faux Pas features. constructioncogs.com/friday-faux-pas/
loving the videos ,my confession is i was lifting a concrete skip full of concrete to pour a floor on some flats and i was watching the hook cam to make sure no one was in the way and needless to say i had lowered the concrete skip and the wind decided to pick up and cause the concrete skip to sway and nearly cake the concrete team in concrete needless to say there was a few choice words from the concrete team
Not same industry but similar, recently me and a colleague were working in close proximity to a 18ton excavator trying to fix a slew position sensor issue, we had been at it all day without issue. After making some repairs we were moving in the workshop to allow a 360 rotation when I stuck my foot right were the tracks were heading and only noticed when one of them was on top of my foot! I fell over, screamed, and shouted to my colleague too ‘track back’ luckily he didn’t panick and tracked off my foot immediately. I was taken to hospital and by some miracle I have no broken bones. Just a very fat & bruised foot. I feel very stupid for what I done and I’m currently feeling sorry for myself! Just shows how a little lack in concentration and some complacency can do! Thanks for sharing.
Wow!! You were very very lucky there. How the hell did that not squash your foot? It must have been in a gap or void in the track or something. It's so easily done though. I remember changing the tracks on a little 1.7ton Kabota when I was a groundworker. Even that made me cautious, so I can't imagine working on a big machine like that.
We're human so we're all bound to make mistakes. It's very inspiring how you spoke about your mistake and turned it into a huge lesson for yourself and others. I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them (even though I don't operate a crane)!
Great message in there no matter the industry or situation, taking a look at what you personally could do better, self reflecting rather than trying ro push responsibilities on everyone else around you, or at the very minimum at least doing them both together, I'd very mature and will go a long long way to increasing everyone's safety around you. Bravo for doing this video man.
Didn't know modern cranes have a hook height readout. That's pretty nifty. I'm still running a little 35 year old swing cab RT with only a load weight indicator and boom angle indicator as my LMI. Gotta get a callout from a rigger on the markings on the side of the boom for how much stick I've got out, and of course paper charts stuffed behind the seat. Gotta say, the day we got the scale was a really great day.
Wow, it hasn't been donated to a museum yet? 😆 Just kidding, mate. Some of these old machines are the best to operate. You know some of the cabs these days have aircon, heated seats, indicators to show what speed you're in, and loads more.

I think it's important in life in general. But definitely so in our industry.
I really appreciate your words. It means a lot.
