Investigation Summary
At 10:15 a.m. on July 2, 2019, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at a heavy construction project that involved pile driving in preparation for laying the deep foundation support for a three-story parking structure. Employee #1 was working from the basket of an aerial device and assisting with the set up of the pile driving equipment, including counterweights for a Liebherr 1200 crawler crane. He was the designated rigger and signal person. During the rigging of the 10,000 pound counterweights, a counterweight fell from the sling, first striking the crane's cab and then falling onto Employee #1 in the aerial basket. Employee #1 sustained fatal crushing injuries.
