Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on March 27, 2009, employees of an oil well service company were completing a service operation. Employee #1 was assigned to clean the rig of residual crude oil that had accumulated when the well was closed. While he was cleaning the idle main hoist cable drum, a coworker engaged the hoist, causing the cable drum to rotate. Employee #1 then lost his balance, fell, and his left leg became caught between the cable drum and its 1 in. cable. As the cable tightened around the cable drum, his knee was crushed. Employee #1 was airlifted to Kern Medical Center for treatment, which included the amputation of his left leg.
