Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was attempting to remove a 593 pound load of rubber which was caught under a Banbury machine. He was using multiple 13-foot by 3-inch slings wrapped around the load of rubber and slung through each other. He was able to attach the chain hook to the come-along. The rigging was at a 45 degree angle from the load of rubber. The come-along was anchored to a motor housing eyelet using a 45-inch by 1-inch sling run through the rough edged eyelet and then attached to the hook of the come-along. A cheater bar was placed on the handle of the come-along and a broom stick was stuck in the hook of the come-along and held by another employee so that Employee #1 could operate it in a rowing type motion. Employee #1 was pulling on the come-along when the sling broke causing the come-along to fly back and hit him in the chest, killing him.
