Investigation Summary
On December 14, 2005, Employee #1 and a crew of ironworkers were erecting a Liebherr 550 ECH tower crane. During the assembling of the crane, the hoist brake failed, causing a single tower section, which weighed approximately 10,000 pounds, to fall. Employee #1's hand was struck by the falling section, fracturing his middle finger. He was taken to a medical center. At the hospital, he underwent surgical procedures to repair the damages sustained in the accident. Following the surgical procedures, he was hospitalized for postoperative care. The cause of the accident was cited as a removed or inoperable safety device.
