Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was cutting metal sections from a bridge that was being dismantled. He was positioned on a homemade work platform suspended 18 feet next to the end of the bridge. Employee #1 improperly attached the 5/8 inch wire rope to the shackle; when he brought cutting equipment onto the work platform, the extra weight caused the wire rope to slip through the shackle. Employee #1 and the work platform fell 18 feet onto concrete and metal scrap at the base of the bridge columns. Employee #1 was killed.
