Abstract: At approximately 1:03 p.m. on September 13, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker were framing the stairwell and hallway walls on the second floor of a warehouse that was being remodeled. They were using a 10,000-pound bridge crane to lift the lumber to the second floor. Employee #1 climbed up a 6-foot stepladder to make a measurement and cut at the stud wall corner. While he was on the ladder, the crane operator, using a pendant from the ground level and unaware that Employee #1 had gone up the ladder, moved the bridge crane toward Employee #1. Employee #1 was crushed in a 7-inch gap between the crane and the top plate. His arms, chest, and abdominal area were crushed and he was killed.
