Employee crushed to death by well-testing burner

At approximately 1:15 p.m. on September 27, 1990, Employee #1 and two coworkers were moving well-testing equipment from a location in the yard and storing it on a pipe rack. Employee #1 and one of the coworkers positioned a burner (used to flare wells) on the rack and Employee #1 disconnected the chain and hook that had been used to lift the burner. Employee #1 and the coworker signaled the operator to pull away. As the truck began to pull away, the chain and/or hook snagged on the burner. The burner slid diagonally on the pipe rack, crushing Employee #1 against the pipe rack, killing him.
