Abstract: The construction 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 construction works. Tower cranes and Mobile cranes are considered as the centrepiece of construction equipment in building projects. They play a key role in transporting a variety of materials vertically and horizontally. The efficiency of tower cranes and mobile crane largely depends on their type, number, location, operator skill and many more. But considering the safety related Tower crane, Tower crane and Mobile crane accidents are high in numbers and taking more than 5 persons life in a year in India.There are many improvements developed in Tower crane designs and mobile crane operations but still the control measures implemented in the Tower crane and Mobile crane is not making the effectiveness in many construction sites.The aim of the present research work was to analysis the past incidents related to Tower cranes and Mobile cranes and identify the root causes of each incidents. Based on the root cause analysis, inspection done on a construction site to check the implementation status of control measures in the Tower cranes and mobile 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 Tower cranes and Mobile cranes.
