Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were rigging a large switch or tank. Employee #1 was operating an overhead 50/20 ton crane (DeShaza, pendant operated) and was standing behind a Caterpillar forklift that had lifted Employee #2 to the top of the 11 ft 2 1/2 in. high tank. Employee #2 was going to secure slings to the lifting lugs. The tank had been burned through all the way around, 4 ft from the base or floor with an acetylene torch. As Employee #1 brought the crane over the tank, one leg of the sling caught on a lifting lug and overturned the tank, which overturned the forklift. The forklift struck and killed Employee #1. Employee #2 jumped to the concrete floor and landed on his hip. He was hospitalized.
