Summary Nr: 118881.015 | Event: 08/08/2019 | Employee Is Killed When Struck By Rope Under Tension | ||||
At 2:42 p.m. on August 8, 2019, Employee #1, employed by a traffic control systems company, was working at a heavy construction project. As a backhoe pulled rope and conduit from an underground pull box, he used a small traffic sign to redirect the path of the rope. He was monitoring the tension on the rope when the traffic sign bent in half. The rope struck Employee #1 and pushed him into a truck. He sustained blunt force trauma injuries to the head and was killed. | ||||||
