Investigation Summary
On April 26, 2009, Employee #1 and two coworkers were working on the excavation of pilings from an old bridge in preparation for the installation of a new bridge. A crane with a sling that attached to the piling was being used to lift and drop it to the ground. As the piling was removed, the sling failed and the piling fell, striking and killing Employee #1.
