Investigation Summary
On August 22, 2001, a crane operator and Employee #1, a helper, were in the process of stowing a jib on the side of a crane boom. The process involved swinging the jib around in place, putting the retainer pins in place, and then removing the swing pin. The jib was not properly aligned and the retainer pins did not catch the jib. When the swing pin was removed the jib fell, hitting Employee #1, who died of a concussion.
