Investigation Summary
At 2:45 p.m. on February 24, 2015, Employee #1 and Employee #2 were working as riggers to remove a diesel engine from a rig with an 18 ton Grove crane and two coworkers. The coworkers comprised of a signalman and a crane operator. The engine had been removed and the crane operator rotated the boom to the left under the direction of the signalman. The signalman had stopped the crane approximately 3 to 4 feet from 7,200 volt power lines. The engine became stuck on the left front outrigger of the crane. Employee #1 and Employee #2 attempted to free the engine from the outrigger. Once the engine was freed the wire rope boom line contacted the power lines electrocuting Employee #1 and Employee #2.
