Employee Is Killed When Struck by Falling Weight

On September 27, 2011, Employee #1 was preparing to pull an old pump from a well to either repair or replace it. To do this, he was raising the pump truck's hoist with the truck's hydraulic system and a cable with a 35 lb weight on the end of the cable. While Employee #1 was standing at the hoist controls at the rear of the truck, the cable broke. The weight fell, struck his head, and killed him. Employee #1 was not using a hard hat at the time of the incident.
