Accident Cause Analysis

The report identifies the primary causes of accidents as follows:

  • Improper operation (42%): operating without certification, unauthorized command, overloaded lifting and transport
  • Inadequate maintenance (28%): Wire Rope and Brake components not inspected or replaced on schedule
  • Equipment defects (18%): Limit device failure, missing safety interlocks
  • Management gaps (12%): deficient safety management systems, insufficient operator training
Outlook: With the full rollout of the TSG 51 Safety Technical Specification for Special Equipment and the approaching deadline for retrofitting existing equipment (end of 2026), Safety Monitoring System installation rates are expected to exceed 80% in the second half of the year, with accident numbers projected to decline further.

Policy Recommendations

The report recommends that companies complete the retrofit installation of Safety Monitoring Systems on existing equipment by the end of 2026 to ensure regulatory compliance. It also emphasizes strengthening operator training and routine maintenance procedures, building a robust safety defense from both the equipment and management perspectives.
