Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201484250

Event: 03/09/2001

Employee killed when struck by falling crane assembly

At approximately 1:15 p.m. on March 9, 2001, Employee # 1 was on a boat in the water underneath the telescoping boom of a Badger hydraulic crane. As the boom continued to telescope out, it two-blocked when the hook assembly contacted the boom sheave. This put excessive tension on the hook assembly hoist cable. The cable broke and the hook assembly fell directly on top of Employee #1. He was killed.
