Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were inside a 32 ft long by 7 ft 2 in. diameter cylindrical steel frame. They were positioning a sling so a crane could move the frame when it collapsed on them. Employee #1 was killed and Employee #2 sustained injuries that required hospitalization. Neither employee had been adequately trained to recognize and avoid hazards in the work area, and the frame had not been adequately supported to prevent its collapse.
