Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201772456

Event: 05/04/2004

Overhead load falls on employee and kills him

On May 4, 2004, an employee working for a metal service center was standing on a pile of angle beams and was struck by an overhead load that fell from a crane. The employee was killed. It was determined by an inspection that the crane's load was not well secured nor was it properly balanced in the sling or lifting device. In addition, the crane was not inspected on a regular basis to prevent wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The inspection also revealed that the employee should not have been standing under the load.
