Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14492235

Event: 07/02/1992

Employee killed when struck by jaw and turnbuckle

Employees #1 and #2 were unloading semolina from a railroad hopper car. They were working adjacent to and under the rail car preparing to line up the portable Airslide rail car unloader with the rail car hopper discharge pipe (Shick Tube-Veyor Corp., pneumatic conveyor system--Airslide unloader MC-615-10). While the employees hooked up the unloader to the rail car attachment bracket, the jaw and turnbuckle suspension assembly slipped off the rail car attachment bracket and struck Employee #1 on the head. He died. The jaw and turnbuckle assembly were not properly attached to the rail car bracket.
