Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on February 5, 2003, Employee #1 and fellow crew members were moving an oil well drill rig. A crane had moved the "A" section of the drill rig leg onto a flat-bed truck. After an employee of H & B Equipment Co. Inc. chained down one side of the leg, the crane hook was released from the load. Employee #1 and the H & B Equipment employee got on the trailer to remove a "C" link which had stuck on the load. When the leg started to shift, the chain holding the load became slack, and the load fell off the truck. Employee #1 also fell off the trailer, was struck in the head by the load, and killed.
