Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on January 3, 2010, a signalman was working in conjunction with a Gradall operator. The signalman worked for a company that was a material supplier and deliverer for the construction industry. At the time of the accident, he was signaling a Gradall operator to deliver a load of supplies to the basement of a hospital. The Gradall (Model Number 5444D-10, Serial Number 0160026241) had a truss boom attachment. The signalman's job was to coordinate with the employees in the basement who were to receive the load, and to signal the Gradall operator to guide him through the obstructions in the basement, to move the load safely. The work area was small. The Gradall operator was extending his boom and did not hear any verbal warning or see any hand signals from the signalman to stop. The signalman was struck in the ribs by the Gradall equipment, and received a crushing injury to the chest that resulted in multiple fractured ribs. He was hospitalized for about seven days at Arcadia Methodist Hospital.
