Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers at a carbon black plant were dismantling a 4 foot diameter horizontal reactor made up of 5 foot horizontal sections. The third section to be removed was stuck on rusty bolts. The crane had a strain on the end pad-eye. A coworker got under the next section and was striking the bolts with a maul. Employee #1 got under the suspended end of the reactor section to strike the bolts with a hammer. The section came loose and moved toward the crane, pinning and crushing Employee #1 between the reactor support leg and the reactor footing. Employee #1 was declared dead at the scene of the accident.
