Abstract: At approximately 9:53 a.m. on September 24, 2013, Employee #1, a framing contractor, was rigging a 520 lb, 20 ft long laminated PSL wood beam to a hoisting line on a tower crane at the worksite. The employee had used two nylon choker slings to attach the load to the crane's hoisting line. The coworker, crane operator, was not in visual contact with Employee #1 due the configuration of the worksite and the absence of a video camera on the crane. The employee did not observe the lift as the wood beam began slipping out of its slings. Employee #1 was struck by the falling laminated PSL wood beam. The employee was transported to an area hospital, where he was treated for fractures to his back.
