Investigation Summary
On February 11, 2012, Employee #1, a warehouse worker, was helping load a bundle of steel pipe. The bundle consisted of four pieces of 14-inch diameter steel pipe 10 feet long. The pipe weighed approximately 50 pounds per foot. Employee #1 was walking behind the pipe that was being moved to a truck for loading to prevent the pipe from swinging out of control. The pipe struck the edge of a ladder stand as it was moving onto the truck bed. The sudden stopping of the pipe's movement caused the sling to move, throwing the pipe bundle off balance. The pipe bundle slipped out of the sling and fell to the ground. The banding on the pipe bundle broke. One of the pieces of pipe struck Employee #1 on his right leg. Employee #1's tibia and fibula were fractured, and he was hospitalized.
