Employee dies after fall from spreader bar

At approximately 10:15 a.m. on February 6, 1991, Employee #1 and a coworker were standing approximately 16 ft above the pavement on a spreader bar atop the grapple bucket of a container crane. They were replacing a radiator hose on a generator. They were not provided with fall protection. Employee #1 turned on the generator at the same time the grapple bucket began to open. This shook the spreader bar and Employee #1 fell to the pavement. The coworker was able to hold on to an overhead wire. Employee #1 was hospitalized for multiple injuries and died on March 2, 1991.
