Employee Is Killed When Struck by Jib Crane

On October 26, 2005, Employee #1 was operating the crane controls of a 23-ton, National, Series 900, truck-mounted hydraulic crane. The controls were located directly behind the driver's side of the carrier cab. A coworker was aligning the 27-ft by 48-ft side-folding swing-around jib so that the stow pins could be installed. Only one pin secured the jib to the boom. The side-stow bracket on the jib was not secured to the stow hook on the boom; the pin which secures the top flange to the boom retaining bar was not engaged; and the bottom operating pin was removed, leaving only the top operating pin to secure the boom. The boom was positioned at a negative angle of 10 degrees, and a tag line was not in use. The side-folding swing-around jib fell, striking Employee #1 on the head, killing him.
