Abstract: Employee #1 and several coworkers were repairing a boiler on a ship called the Pacific Star. An 8-ft-diameter section of the deck above the boiler room was removed, and a hoist was suspended from a pad eye that was fixed to the overhead directly above the boiler. The boiler cap was removed without incident; however, when the interior tube handle was cut loose and the employees attempted to hoist it out of the boiler, the handle caught on an obstruction. Employee #1 entered the boiler room through an access hole to remove the obstruction with a cutting torch. After the obstruction was removed, the tube bundle apparently fell onto Employee #1, killing him.
