Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14394621
Event: 07/10/1989
Employee killed when struck by falling duct work

Employee #1 and a coworker had attached a 3/8 in. welded link chain to the top flange of a 770 lb section of metal duct work. The tie point consisted of the chain, bolt, nut, and washer. While the employees were positioning the metal duct work for bolting in the metal ducts, which were being held by a forklift, exerted excessive strain on the non-flexing tie point. The upper chain link separated at the weld joint and dropped the metal duct work on Employee #1, killing him.
