Investigation Summary
On November 18, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing an outdoor sign at a shopping mall. The sign, approximately 1,800 pounds, was suspended a few feet above ground by slings and a truck-mounted crane. They were following the safety rules listed in the vehicle's operator's manual. The vehicle's telescopic boom retracted unexpectedly, and Employee #1 was killed when his head was pinned under the sign.
