Abstract: On or about February 19, 2006, Employee #1 was disassembling the mid-section boom of the 80 ton Link-Belt LS 138 II crane. He had not been assigned the task to disassemble the lattice boom. He was underneath the boom to strike the lower right steel pin first with a 18 lb. sledge hammer. Employee #1 disregarded the warnings of his coworkers and supervisor to stop. He proceeded to strike the lower left. As soon as the pin was knocked out, the mid-section collapsed directly on Employee #1, killing him. The lattice boom was not ready to have the pins removed as well as the boom was not supported in any way.
