Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on October 20, 2008, Employee #1 and the coworkers were working at a jobsite located at the proximity of Hwy 101 at Wilson Creek in Klamath California. They were moving logs from a spoils pile that was previously staged for them. Employee #1 and a coworker were gripping at the hoist. Employee #1 was standing inside the bight and the coworker outside, when the grip hoist box anchor strap broke causing the grip hoist to strike Employee #1 in his leg. Employee #1 fractured his lower leg and was hospitalized. The accident investigation revealed that Employee #1 and the coworker used a worn nylon tow strap to anchor the grip hoist to the tree. According to Employee #1, he instructed the coworker to get the new and correctly rated nylon rigging straps, however he did not ensure that those nylon tow straps were used in the configuration.
