| Summary Nr: 14297477 | Event: 03/31/1989 | Employee Killed When Falling Crane Load Lacerates Leg | ||||
| At 1:45 p.m. on March 31, 1989, Employee #1, a material handler, was assisting in loading a 40 ft flatbed truck. He was supposed to position himself away from the loading area until the material had been lowered to within a few inches of the loader; he was then to come in and guide the load into position, placing wooden chocks between each lift. Employee #1 was walking toward the crane as it was coming in with a load when one of the four load handling hooks disengaged, causing the load to swing and fall. It struck Employee #1 on the rear of his right leg, resulting in a severe laceration and loss of blood. He was killed. | ||||||
