Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on August 5, 1996, Employee #1 was working atop a derrick on a pontoon-mounted drilling rig in dry dock. As he attempted to enter a manbasket that was suspended above the derrick floor, it swung away and he fell about 60 feet to the floor. Employee #1 died on impact. The basket was not secured to the landing deck from which Employee #1 wanted to descend. Gusting winds, improper manbasket design, and insufficient employee training contributed to the accident.
