Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:10 a.m. on February 15, 1997, Employee #1, a miner for Tutor-Saliba-Perini, was working at a MTA tunnel construction project. He was walking on a rebar mat, tending a trailing electrical cable for a jumbo hoist . A 1/4 in. non-alloy chain sling used for hoisting broke, allowing a 4,600 lb trash container that had been rigged to the jumbo hoist to fall and swing free at one end. Employee #1, who was passing by just as the link failed, was struck in the head and chest. He was killed instantly. The chain was undersized for the load and was composed of non-alloy carbon steel of unknown origin and quality. The chain had been abused and showed signs of previous overloading.
