Investigation Summary
While trying to remove scrap steel from a tap hole in the top of a mold, an overhead craneman caused the mold to slip partially off its buggy and to lean against a stool on a second buggy. This was not immediately corrected. The mold, now unstable, was leaning at an approximately 45 degree angle. Unknown to the crane operator, Employee #1, a mold man, climbed onto the buggy to dislodge the stuck piece of steel. As the craneman picked up a mold adjacent to the one that was leaning, the buggy shook. This caused the leaning mold to slide to a horizontal position and strike the employee in the chest, killing him.
