Investigation Summary
At 11:09 a.m. on January 12, 2015, Employee #1 and three coworkers, employed by a construction excavation contractor, were conducting disassembly operations on the boom of a Grove Truck Crane, Model HL150T. All the workers were Certified Crane Operators (CCO), and the operator of the Grove Truck Crane was the supervisor for the operation. Employee #1 was the operator of a boom truck brought to the site to be used as an assist crane during the disassembly operation. Employee #1 was standing on a concrete slab under the boom of the Grove Truck Crane. The crane was approximately 4 to 5 feet off the ground. When Employee #1 removed two bottom pins from a 25-footlong head section of the boom, the boom fell to the ground. It struck and pinned Employee #1 against the concrete slab, causing traumatic asphyxiation and blunt chest/abdominal injuries. Employee #1 was killed.
