Jeff York is interviewed by CNBC shortly after the second crane collapsed in New York City back in May of 2008. Jeff York covers some important aspects of crane inspections that still need to be addressed almost 2 years later. Here are some of the key points in this video:
- Not enough qualified people to inspect at an independent level
- Inspectors need to be completely removed form the ownership of the crane
- The inspectors need to be independent and unbiased
- Most importantly, the crane inspectors need to be able to see things that the untrained eye can not see
- Independent 3rd party crane inspectors need to be required!
