In the middle of a storm, two crane operators were busy on the CHwapi site in Tournai

Two crane operators were still in their crane on Friday, at the height of the storm. Because of a lack of anticipation, negligence, fault? The investigation will tell.

This Monday, an expert went down where, on Friday, a tower crane crashed into a CHwapi building. The Hainaut labor auditor (Tournai division) has begun his duties. In the context of a work accident, he has the same powers as the public prosecutor. It can request the police services to carry out investigations. He can seize an examining magistrate. We are not there yet. “For now, the expert’s mission is to inspect the metal structure and analyze how the crane was assembled, to try to understand what could have happened.“, says listener Charles-Éric Clesse.
