New York City announces new safety

New York City announces new safety measures for cranes after
2016-02-09 EHSCity

Three days after a towering crane toppled onto a New York City street,
killing one man and injuring three other people, investigators still
don’t know what caused the collapse. But authorities say they are
putting several new safety measures into place Monday in response that
will affect the hundreds of cranes dotting the city.
On Sunday, the same day these new measures were announced, family and friends gathered
about five miles from where the crane collapsed to mourn David Wichs,
38, who was killed when the equipment tumbled to the street.
“He
was so generous, always wanted to take care of everyone,” Daniel Wichs,
his younger brother, said at the funeral service, according to the New York Daily News. “We loved David so much. He’ll live in our hearts forever.”
Wichs
died and three other people were injured when the crane fell onto Worth
Street in the Tribeca neighborhood, crushing cars and sending debris
scattering, authorities said.

Mayor
Bill de Blasio said it was “something of a miracle” that more people
were not injured or killed, which he attributed to what the construction
crew was doing when the incident occurred before 8:30 a.m. Friday. The
crane fell when it was being secured as winds increased, and workers
were directing pedestrians and drivers away from the street, the mayor
said.
“Obviously in the middle of rush hour, there would have
been more people and more vehicles on the street,” de Blasio (D) said
during a news conference Sunday. “So thank God the crew did exactly what
they were supposed to do.”
The incident was recorded by a
construction worker in a nearby building, who documented the crawler
crane’s descent onto the street:

injuring three others. A construction worker captured the accident on
video, filming from the 30th floor of a nearby building. (The Washington
Post)
The collapse is being investigated by the
city’s police and buildings departments, and de Blasio said it could
take weeks or months to unfold. He also said some information could be
released later this month. “We do not know the specific cause,” de
Blasio said Sunday.
Even without knowing why the crane fell, de
Blasio said officials still wanted to take steps in response to the
collapse. He announced a series of new restrictions that would lower the
wind speed threshold needed for crews to secure cranes, increase
protection for pedestrians on sidewalks and create more alerts for
people in the area when cranes are being moved.
“Friday’s
incident obviously is a warning that we take very seriously,” de Blasio
said. While he said he values the construction boom in the city, de
Blasio also added that “there’s no building that is worth a person’s
life.”
After the collapse Friday, de Blasio ordered the 429
cranes in the city that could have been operated Friday to be secured
due to the wind.
In the wake of the collapse, some streets remain
closed, and the gas has been shut off in many buildings while fire
officials and utility workers swept buildings to check gas levels.
De
Blasio also said there may be more new safety changes ahead. A task
force will also look at the collapse and, by May, determine if other
safety changes are needed, de Blasio said.
