Abstract: Employee #1 and three coworkers were working on a work platform 74 ft above the ground. They were operating four 100 ton hydraulic jacks that were placed on a tower they had constructed in order to jack up the twin booms of a container crane. While they were jacking up the booms, the boom on one of the jack bases shifted, causing a jack or a shim that was being placed on top of a jack to strike Employee #1. He fell to the ground and was killed. Employee #1 had not hooked his safety belt to the static line that was provided.
