Annotation:

The article examines issues associated with measures to ensure occupational safety in the construction industry, where crane equipment is widely used. Special attention has been paid to the analysis of risk factors of occupational injuries and the development of accident prevention measures. At the same time, an objective assessment of the injury rate in the construction industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan is hampered by the lack of reliable, publicly available statistics from the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations. Therefore, the analysis is based on open sources, regulatory documents, and practices of construction companies. The perspectives on improving occupational safety systems and preventing accidents at construction sites have been determined.
