Introduction. The paper discusses the applicability of a riskbased approach in the “personnel-machinery-production environment” system at the facilities running tower cranes through the introduction of IT-technologies that provide open communication of the staff, management team of the operating organizations, and the National Supervisory Authority, to reduce the accident rate.  Materials and Methods. An example of a hazardous production facility running tower cranes is given. Materials on the analysis of operational status of tower cranes within the framework of the current legislation in the field of industrial safety are used. The necessity for innovations and transformations, one of whose methods is the risk-based approach allowing for the implementation of all required levels of control, is identified.Research Results. The stages of introduction of the riskoriented approach for tower crane operators implemented through IT-technologies using Web-applications on safety management under the tower crane operation based on the hazard analysis and risk assessment in gamut, algorithmically associated with the electronic block key of its local security system, are determined.Discussion and Conclusions. The application of a risk-based approach in the “personnel-machinery-production environment” system at the facilities running tower cranes through the introduction of IT-technologies will ensure the proper operation of all departments and each participant of the operation, as well as provide Supervisory bodies with an opportunity to access information on the operation for the implementation of control and supervision functions remotely.
