Abstract: The manufacturing industry today is greatly different from the one of the past. There have been many remarkable changes and advancement not only in terms of the structures that are today being build and the tools that are being used, but most importantly in the techniques and methods that are available now for the actual crane works. Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) Cranes are considered as the centerpiece of Material transfer/Assembly lines in various industries. They play a key role in transporting a variety of materials vertically and horizontally. The efficiency of EOT cranes largely depends on their type, number, location, operator skill and many more. But considering the safety related crane, crane accidents are high in India. There are many improvements developed in crane designs but still the control measures implemented in the crane is not making the effectiveness in many Industries/construction sites. The aim of the present research work was to analysis the past incidents related to cranes and identify the root causes of each incidents. Based on the root cause analysis, inspection done on a manufacturing industry to check the implementation status of control measures in the EOT cranes. Based on the site inspection, we will identify the requirements of advanced control measures and implement those control measures to avoid further accidents related to cranes..

Keywords: Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) Crane. Incidents Analysis, Material Transfer/Assembly Line, Safety Features.
