Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200201200
Event: 02/26/2000
Three employees injured when manbasket falls

Employees #1 through #3 were using a 15 ton P & H rough-terrain hydraulic crane to paint the exterior of a shredder in a salvage yard. The crane operator was elevating the employees in a manbasket when he extended the hydraulic boom to the point that the hoisting block was drawn into the end of the boom (two-blocking). This caused the steel rope to break, and the manbasket to fall to the ground. The hoisting block followed and landed in the middle of the manbasket. Employees #1 through #3 sustained severe injuries, for which they were hospitalized.
