| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
During the pre-work inspection, ensure that there are no cracks in the boom mechanisms. |
| 2. |
Special and periodical voluntary inspections should include inspections for cracks in boom mechanisms. If there is a concern that the machine may be cracked, perform an inspection using a flaw detector. |
| 3. |
If an abnormality is detected, immediately conduct repairs or take other necessary measures. |
| 4. |
Observe all stability, maximum load, and boom tip hose length specifications established for the specific model of pump vehicle being used. |
| 5. |
When a boom is being used, restrict workers from walking beneath it. |
