Employee Is Killed When Crushed by Falling Crane and Load

At 1:05 p.m. on September 16, 2002, Employee #1 and six coworkers were using a 90-ton Clark-Lima lattice boom truck crane to unload joist girders, columns, bridging, and other structural steel from flatbed trucks into a building. Employee #1 and a coworker were setting the cribbing, guiding the load onto the cribbing, and then releasing the rigging from the load. The second load of girder joists was being placed into the building. When the crane experienced a mechanical failure, the boom and load fell. Employee #1 was crushed and killed.
