Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and other employees were preparing a crane to "christmas tree" steel beams to the first floor of a structure. The crane was a Link-Belt, Model LS-218H, Serial Number B6L17-7999, 100-ton crawler crane with a 150-foot lattice boom and a 60-foot jib. The employees hooked up one steel beam weighing 586 pounds. The crane operator raised the beam about 8 feet above the ground and the employees started to put a choker on another beam. Before the second beam could be hooked up, the main boom line failed, causing the boom to collapse. Employee #1 was struck by the steel beam and the headache ball, fracturing his shoulder, ulna, and wrist. The other employees called emergency services and Employee #1 was transported to Washington County Hospital.
