Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on September 11, 2002, Employee #1 was sitting on a steel rafter receiving a load of Z-shaped purlins from a crane. The crane operator was moving the bundle of 19 purlins into place when a gust of wind caught the bundle, causing the load to become unstable. The nylon choker being used for the lift was severed and the load broke free. One end of the load struck the concrete floor, while the other end struck the rafter where Employee #1 was sitting, knocking him off. He fell approximately 16 ft onto the concrete floor and sustained severe head injuries. Employee #1 was flown by helicopter to a local hospital where he died the next day as a result of his injuries.
