Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working on a pouring platform. Meanwhile, in an unrelated job, workers were using an 8 in. by 8 in. by 15 in. steel block to dislodge an ingot stuck in a mold. Using a crane, they dropped a 4,100 lb steel ball onto the 256 lb block from a height of about 75 ft. The ball struck a glancing blow to the block and propelled it down the pit area. The block fell 171 ft, striking and killing Employee #1.
