Investigation Summary
On July 23, 2008, Employee #1 was working with a crew to set open web bar joists for a roof system on a precast concrete building. Coworker #1 was operating a Link-Belt LS 218H crane to hoist bar joist to the crew working from man lifts. Employee #1 was part of the crew working from the man lifts. Coworker #2 heard a snapping noise and saw the boom hoist wire rope breaking apart between the drum and the top of the Gantry. Coworker #2 yelled to Coworker #1 that the boom hoist cable broke, causing the boom to fall. The boom struck Employee #1 in the elevated man lift. Employee #1 collapsed, suffered blunt force trauma, and later died. The weather at the site was warm and sunny with little to no wind.
