On accidents occurring during mechanical lifting of goods, the spokesman said these were mainly due to the lack of co-ordination between
workers and the poor maintenance of cranes and lifting tackles.
"All lifting equipment should be well lubricated and their 'safe working load' clearly indicated. Traffic guides and crossings should be set up in areas where fork-lift trucks are in operation."
The spokesman said free courses in safe cargo handling practices were being run by the Industrial Safety Training Unit and factory inspectors regularly visited dockyards and wharfs to ensure that safety regulations were observed and to offer advice where necessary.
