Employee Killed, Another Injured When Rig Floor Falls

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on September 3, 2010, Employee #1 and some coworkers were lifting the deck floor of a mobile service work-over rig to secure it for transport. The 9 ft by 15 ft deck floor weighed approximately 1,500 lbs. Employee #1 and a coworker were underneath the rig floor to be able to attach chains to immobilize the floor once it was positioned. Another coworker was operating the winch. When the floor was moved to an upright or vertical position, it fell. Employee #1 and the coworker with him were injured when they were struck by the floor. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at 6:00 p.m. The coworker was hospitalized for five days with fractured ribs, abrasions on his body and a deflated lung.
