Investigation Summary
Three employees were removing a gas regulator and associated flanges weighing approximately 200 lbs. Employee #1 and Employee #3 were in the regulator put preparing the regulator to be hoisted by a Liftmore Truck Mounter Crane (Model 3200RE, Serial Number H970W7), which was operated by Employee #2. Employee #3 left the pit while Employee #1 remained to remove the last bolts and guide the load. Once clear of the pit, Employee #2 stopped the crane and Employee #1 climbed from the pit. At that time, the cable broke and the load fell onto Employee #1, striking his left foot and amputating his left big toe. He was hospitalized. Investigation of the crane revealed the anti-two block limit switch failed due to a manufacturer's flaw.
