Investigation Summary
On June 24, 2010, Employee #1 was working at a facility specializing in the manufacturing of above ground fuel storage tanks. During the manufacturing of a cylinder, a piece of sheet metal was fed into a roller, and then lifted from the roller using an overhead trolley crane for transport. As the trolley crane traversed a cylinder across the facility, the rigging on the crane broke free, causing the cylinder to fall and strike Employee #1 in the head. The cylinder then fell to ground and tipped over, crushing Employee #1's chest. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital, where he later died due to his injuries.
