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.

Norwel Equipment Co. Limited Partnership (L.P.) is a Louisiana business retailer of construction equipment specializing in John Deere heavy-equipment and has secured exclusive John Deere rights for most of the State of Louisiana. Founded in 1972, Norwel is the sixth largest John Deere construction equipment dealer in the United States. This case illustrates business and technology issues facing Norwel. In mid-1999, the October 1st deadline for John Deeres requirement to communicate by e-mail was approaching and the response time of the Norwels primary computers system, an AS/400, was increasing to the point where users were not satisfied with performance. Also users were requesting new computing services such as e-mail, document sharing, and Internet access. For example, the Parts Operations Manger suggested selling parts online and the Manager of the Used Equipment Division suggest supporting the sales staff through Internet connections. Managing Partner, Richard Hevey decided an upgrade to the networks and a connection to the Internet were needed. He is faced with both short-term and long-term decisions about Norwels infrastructure.

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.

During the summer of 1972, a barge load of heavy construction equipment under tow to the James Bay Project on the eastern shore of James Bay became grounded on a shoal at the mouth of the Fort George River, only a few miles from its intended destination. Federal Commerce and Navigation Limited retained Foundation of Canada Engineering Corporation Limited (FENCO) to study the feasibility of removing the heavy equipment from the barge by an overice crossing. FENCO personnel visited the site in November and December, 1972, compiled the necessary environmental data and designed a crossing consisting of ice built up by flooding. Following the completion of the 100 ft wide (30.48 m) and 74 in. thick (1.88 m) bridge by Sainte-Marie Construction, the ice bridge was instrumented and tested prior to and during the unloading process. Parameters measured were thickness, width, temperature, ice soundness, and deflections. Tide readings were also taken.Loads of 70 t and heavy trucks were removed with no problem. Deflections were very small and cracking was confined to the tidal zone.
