Shock in Johanneskirchen: Woman falls from construction crane while observing strawberry moon!
A tragic accident occurred on Friday night in the Johanneskirchen district of Munich. A 20-year-old woman fell from a construction crane and fell about 15 meters. According to reports from Süddeutsche.de, the young woman climbed on the crane with a companion to observe the earth's moon. Unfortunately, she lost her grip on the crane's boom and fell.
Her companion, who witnessed the incident, reacted quickly and contacted emergency services. When the rescue workers arrived, they could hear the woman's cries for help and found her lying on a roof. The injured person was rescued with the help of ladders, initially treated on site and then taken to a clinic.
Safety risks on construction sites
The accident highlights the dangers that are omnipresent on construction sites. The frequency of accidents on construction sites is around twice as high as at other workplaces, although the consequences are often more severe. As Deutsche Handwerks Zeitung reports, the constant change in the working environment combined with high physical stress and unpredictable weather conditions contributes to the risk of accidents.
The most common causes of accidents in the construction industry include:
- Transport und Verkehr: 33,2% der Unfälle
- Gewinnung und Herstellung: 24,1% der Unfälle
- Instandhaltung: 14,8% der Unfälle
- Demontage: 9,4% der Unfälle
- Wege im Betrieb: 5,9% der Unfälle
Occupational safety regulations
To ensure safety at work, there are a number of regulations that must be applied on construction sites. These include the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Construction Site Ordinance (BaustellV), which are intended to improve health protection and safety on construction sites. According to Haufe.de, falls are the largest cause of accidents and are among the most common fatal accidents. Handling falling objects also poses a serious danger.
These regulations stipulate, among other things, that a safety concept is developed that evaluates the risks on site. A highly coordinated approach is essential to ensure safety standards and prevent accidents. The responsible attitude of employers and construction managers plays a crucial role here, because they are obliged to inform their employees as best as possible about dangers and to offer training on these topics.
The accident in Johanneskirchen reminds us how important occupational safety is on construction sites. Every single life counts and responsibility for the safety of all employees should always be at the forefront.
