Investigation Summary
SEVERAL EMPLOYEES WERE MOVING STEEL BEAMS FROM ONE SKID TO ANOTHER. AN OVERHEAD CRANE, BEING OPERATED FROM THE FLOOR, WAS USED TO LIFT THE BEAMS. EMPLOYEE #1 DISCONNECTED THE CHAIN FROM THE 3,088 POUND STEEL BEAM AND MOVED BETWEEN TWO BEAMS TO GUIDE THE CHAIN AND HOOK. THE HOOK CAUGHT ON A FLANGE ON THE BEAM, CAUSING IT TO LEAN ON ITS SIDE AND THEN FLIP OVER. EMPLOYEE #1 WAS PINNED BETWEEN THE TWO BEAMS AND CRUSHED TO DEATH.
