Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers were removing the monkey board from the drill rig derrick during a rigging down operation. Employee #1 was standing on the monkey board about 8 feet above the ground. When he removed the pin from his side of the platform and a coworker removed the other pin, the weight of the monkey board caused it to shift in the supporting slings, throwing Employee #1 to the ground. Both his elbows and one knee were fractured upon impact. Employee #1 died two days later from a pulmonary embolus (blood clot).
