Employee Dismantling Crane Is Killed Falling from Elevation

On September 7, 2002, an employee and two coworkers were standing on the jib platform of a tower crane, dismantling the jib. The coworkers were standing on either side of the platform, while the employee was disconnecting the tension on the trolley cable drum. The employee was killed when he stepped backward into a 23 in. by 43 in. hole in the platform, falling over 100 ft to the concrete pavement. He was wearing a harness with a double lanyard at the time of the accident.
