Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m., Employee #1, a crane operator, was using an 8 1/2-ton industrial carry deck crane to remove sections of pipe being salvaged from a closed atomic energy plant. He was lifting a 2,160 lb section when the crane fell about 20 ft onto the mezzanine level and struck some exposed condensing tubes. The impact threw Employee #1 from the cab of the crane, and he landed on the crane's door. He suffered a fractured and separated left shoulder, for which he was hospitalized. Employee #1 had encountered no problems removing similar sections of pipe earlier in the day.
