Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:45 a.m., on November 03, 2004, Employee #1 was welding with Employee #2. Employee #2 had to weld more on the 8-ton Steel I-Beam, but had to have the I-Beam laid down. Employee #2 motioned to another employee, the crane operator, to move the overhead crane. The other employee, the crane operator, lowered the chain down. Employee #2 was handing the chain to Employee #1 as he stood behind the 8-ton Steel I-Beam took the chain and held them close together while the crane operator trolled the chain in. Employee #2 grabbed the hook of the chain with his right hand and the slack with his left hand. As Employee # 2 was handing the chain over the I-Beam, it started to tip over in the direction of Employee #1. Employee #1 was between two 8-Ton, I-Beams when the I-beam in front of the employee fell on Employee #1, crushing the employee. Employee #1 died.
