THE NSW government is urging crane operators to check the safety of their machinery and is calling on key stakeholders to attend a crane safety discussion.
Following the collapse of a crane arm at Broadway last week, WorkCover NSW will on Tuesday hold a meeting where it will "put the safety spotlight firmly on the crane industry".
Hundreds of people were evacuated from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) construction site and surrounding buildings during the emergency last Tuesday, which closed Broadway and caused traffic chaos.
"Tower cranes are potentially hazardous plant machinery," WorkCover manager John Watson said in a statement.
He said contractors had a legal duty to inspect and ensure cranes and plant machinery are safe.
"Standard inspections before cranes are erected include a check for leakage in lines, tanks, valves, pumps and other part of air systems or hydraulic systems," he said.
"The same checks are conducted a second time during commissioning inspections once the crane is operational."
