Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was engaged in the removal of a turbine motor unit from a chiller that was being demolished. An A-frame, I-beam, and two hoists were being used to lower the turbine motor unit to the ground after removing multiple bolts holding the unit to the chiller. After the last bolt had been removed the flange was struck with hammer to loosen it. The unit came loose quickly and in a twisting motion that provided dynamic loading. The lifting unit failed to hold the weight and the end A-frame flew up and then down striking the Employee #1 who was on top of the chiller. Employee #1 died from his injuries.
