Abstract: At 10:32 a.m. on November 25, 2022, an employee was holding the tagline for a piece of structural steel with switches installed that was suspended 4 to 6 feet horizontally in the air to be placed on two steel columns. The steel was being lifted by a Caterpillar 329 excavator with a Kenco jib assembly. While the 18 by 9-foot horizontal piece of steel was suspended from the ground, the jib assembly broke away from the excavator. The employee was struck by the steel. The employee died due to blunt force trauma.
