Investigation Summary
The crew of an oil well servicing rig was rigging down equipment at a well site in preparation for downtime during the Thanksgiving weekend. A coworker was lowering the traveling block with attached elevators and bales. Employee #1 was sitting on the rig deck below the mast in the process of removing a flange from the wellhead, when the operator lost control of the traveling block. The elevators and block fell, striking the Employee #1 in the back and shoulders causing injuries.
