the pole and controlling the action of the crane.
He realized that the hook was not in a correct position and launched an alarm which allowed people
staying around to run away from the area.

ground, hitting one of the crane operator assistants to the arm..
This worker was slightly scratched by the base of the pole

There was no needed of medical care and the worker declined to consult any medical aid.
