Abstract: Three employees were attempting to disassemble a section of a crane boom. The boom was parallel to the ground and about 5 ft high. Two of the employees were working at the boom tip with the load block. Employee #1 was supposed to be removing only the cotter keys from the boom pins. Apparently he also removed the lower boom pins before repositioning the pendant lines. When he drove out the second lower pin with a hammer, the boom collapsed onto him, crushing and killing him.
