Equipment-related occupational accidents are very higher when compared to all other type occupational accidents in the worldwide. Various types and styles of many equipment are used in construction industries (construction and mining). This equipment are usually huge and heavy, so the consequences of accidents are severe. Occupational accidents related this equipment might occur due to operating faulty, carelessly and unserviceably. In this study, the causes of occupational accidents related with heavy equipment in construction workplaces are presented and cause-and-effect relationships of occupational accidents are investigated based on the statistics. Heavy equipment safety types are analysed for incident prevention by statistics. In addition, the detailed information are presented about the precautions to prevent such accidents. As a result, all stakeholders should pay attention to the use of new security technologies and to reduce human default to prevent workplace injuries depending on the equipment.

This paper describes the application of sensors to prevent collision accidents with heavy equipment such as hydraulic excavators and cranes. From the results of an existing system evaluation, the author developed a system that measures distance from heavy equipment to personnel using a camera, 2-D laser range finder, and 3-D orientation sensor. A prototype wasmade and it has been confirmed that the detection of personnel is possible based on camera images and laser range data.

In the construction of Cable Stayed Bridge, the use of heavy construction equipment is absolutely necessary, especially required for positioning and selecting the type of Tower Crane in order to improve construction performance. Therefore, human resources and heavy equipment used in the construction process will significantly affect the period of project implementation. Proper planning of the location for various construction equipment is believed to be the key of efficiency and productivity. Tower Crane as the target optimization is one of the equipment that has a big role in transporting the materials for the construction of a multi- storey building so that it requires proper planning to be able to serve all points of demand from its position.
