Abstract: At approximately 8:20 p.m. on January 27, 1993, Employee #1, a 44-year-old heavy equipment/crane operator with 15 years of experience as a heavy equipment operator and one year as a crane operator, received injuries while operating a model LRT-275, 27 ton rubber-tired hydraulic Lorain crane with an 80 foot telescoping boom. Employee #1 was off-loading the final barrier from the back of a tractor trailer when the crane flipped over onto its side. As the crane was overturning, the employee leapt off the crane, sustaining multiple contusions and a fractured pelvis. Serious violations of 4994(a), 5031(a), 5006(a), 5008(h), and 5012(a)(2) were cited.
