Investigation Summary
A work crew of four men--an operator, a derrickhand, and two floorhands--was performing a washover operation during the complete servicing of a gas well. They were using a Brewster Skytop workover rig to remove ten sections of 3 3/4 in. washpipe from the well. Each section of pipe was raised with the rig's block by using an elevator that fit under a lift nub or nubbin on the end of the pipe; each section was then lowered onto a trailer. Employee #1 was standing on the derrick floor under the elevator and Employee #2 was on the right side of the floor when the nubbin came out of a washpipe. The pipe fell approximately 10 ft, striking Employee #1 on the head and Employee #2 on the hand. Employee #1 died of head injuries and Employee #2 sustained a fractured right thumb.
