Abstract: Employee #1 was standing under a crane when a wire rope parted and he was struck by the crane block. No other load was present. The mobile hydraulic boom crane did not have a current, annual certificate; maintenance records were not kept, and a daily pre-use safety inspection was not conducted by the employee. Evidence shows that the crane was overloaded and/or double blocked, indicating a lack of adequate operator training and/or supervising.
