Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was in a homemade personnel platform attached with a two-leg chain connected diagonally to the basket. The chain was attached to a hydraulic crane hook. He was being lifted for the fourth time to the roof when the block of the hook two-blocked with the crane, pulling the wire rope apart. Employee #1 fell 29 ft with the basket to the ground and was killed by the block and hook when it landed on top of him.
