Investigation Summary
EMPLOYEE #1 AND OTHER EMPLOYEES IN A STEEL FABRICATION AREA WERE USING AN OVERHEAD CRANE CONTROLLED BY AN EMPLOYEE ON THE FLOOR TO MOVE STEEL BUNDLES. THE EMPLOYEES PLACED A SPREADER BAR WEIGHING 3,740 POUNDS IN A VERTICAL POSITION ATOP THE STEEL REBAR BUNDLES. THE SPREADER BAR SLID OFF THE BUNDLES AND STRUCK EMPLOYEE #1, PINNING HIM TO THE FLOOR. THE CRANE WAS USED TO REMOVE THE BAR AND EMPLOYEE #1 WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL BY EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. HE UNDERWENT EMERGENCY SURGERY TO MINIMIZE THE INTERNAL INJURIES CAUSED BY THE CRUSHING OF HIS ABDOMEN, BUT DID NOT SURVIVE.
