Investigation Summary
The employer, Bechtel, is the general contractor for the Shell Clean Fuels Project. Employee #1 was part of a crew that was unloading seven counterweights, each weighing more than 18,000 lb, that sat on a counterweight tray of the rear of a Bigge crawler crane. Five counterweights had been removed and the sixth counterweight was being lifted out by the crane. Employee #1 was standing near the counterweight when the A-frame that leaned against it moved. He backed up, pivoted 180 degrees, and jumped to the ground, sustaining fractures to both heels.
