Abstract: At 12:00 p.m. on January 5, 2013, an employee was attempting to remove the cover from a crane hoist gear box to replace a leaking seal. While using a hammer and chisel to open the lid on the hoist gear box, the drum started spinning in a downward motion. Sparks and bearing began to fly and the employee unhooked his lanyard in an attempt to get away. At that point, the employee fell approximately 25-30 feet striking the concrete. The employee was killed from a brain injury.
