Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on August 16, 2007, Employee #1, of Blue Iron, Inc., was disassembling a mobile lattice-boom crane. The crane boom was between 3 ft and 4 ft off the level ground and was supported by pendant cables, which ran from the struts on top of the car body to the end of the boom. Employee #1 was driving out the pins that held the bottom of the crane boom together. He had just driven out the second pin when the crane boom rotated around the two intact upper pins and then fell straight down, striking the right side of his face. Employee #1's jaw was fractured in two places.
