Speaking about CRANE SAFETY. What recommendations do you have to people working with cranes?

Bharti Gokhale : As my business is to provide Crane Safety System, Crane Safety is at utmost important for us. We conduct workshops on Crane Safety. In year 2011 we had conducted free workshops for the industry on crane safety. Our program is known as CSAP – Crane Safety Awareness Program. We conduct the same in various industries as per their requirement. What we have observed that major accidents in our country take place due to ignorance. With experience, people tend to become over confident and then due to small mistake big accidents take place. My recommendation is to read the instructions thoroughly and follow them religiously.

Bharti Gokhale : I spend most of the time in my business only. Other than this reading and travelling are my hobbies.

Are you facing new challenges in Crane Industry? Tell us about it.

Bharti Gokhale : My country is going through a slow down phase since last two years. All the projects are on hold or moving at very slow speed. This has direct impact on the crane industry. But we are seeing a change in it. Slowly this year some positive movement is seen and some projects have started coming in. Also there is void of good trained staff in crane industry. So lot of work can be done in the training field.
