Investigation Summary
On December 7, 2002, Employee #1, an oil well drilling crew worker, was making up a connection using a BJ manual tong as a backup on drill tubing. The power swivel unexpectedly went into reverse, putting Employee #1 in the wrong position. The tong safety line caught his body in the middle and fatally crushed him against the drill tubing.
