Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was on the deck of an oil drilling rig that was being converted to a production platform, preparing to place a large pipe support on a beam below the deck. This involved a crane swinging the support around and Employee #1 fishing it through the open I-beams to the column below to be welded in place. While the support was being lowered, it slipped out of the crane's nylon sling. The support either struck Employee #1, or he jumped to avoid it. He went over the edge of the rig and fell 30 ft to the ground. Employee #1 was killed.
