Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 171017684
Event: 08/26/1996
Employee injured when struck by falling metal frame

Employee #1 was using a pendant control to retrieve an overhead crane. The pendant control allowed him to stack the crane's chain and unhook it from a large metal frame that it had just raised. As he was working, the metal frame began to teeter and it then fell. Employee #1 tried to scramble out of the way, but he was struck by the truss and suffered a fractured pelvis. The standard practice is to anchor the metal trusses using the overhead crane while securing the frames with large C-clamps and angle irons. Employee #1 could not verify that the metal frame had been clamped in place.
