Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:15 p.m. on February 26, 1992, Employee #1 was going to cut the fouled load line on an Osgood crane. He had climbed the erect boom carrying a cutting torch to cut the fouled cable at the end of the boom. Employee #1 heated the boom support cable, which raises and lowers the boom. The heat broke the stressed cable, causing the boom to fall. The boom landed on a stack of pallets, never reaching the ground, and Employee #1 rode the boom, never falling off. Employee #1 suffered multiple fractures to the right leg and a large laceration to the left leg and forehead. He was hospitalized for his injuries. No other means to support the boom had been used.
