Incident on May 28, 1996 (fatal): Employee killed when crushed by crane boom

Employee #1 and coworkers were removing a 20 ft section of a crane boom to repla ce it with a 10 ft section. Employee #1 was to place a wire rope sling on the bo om section, very near the connection point with the next section. Instead, he pl aced the sling almost at the mid-point of the section. He then got under the boo m to knock out the pins. As the second pin was removed, the boom and one section tilted down at the hinge point, pinning Employee #1. He was crushed and killed.

Incident on Apr 4, 1991 (fatal): Employee killed when crushed by falling boom

Three employees were attempting to disassemble a section of a crane boom. The bo om was parallel to the ground and about 5 ft high. Two of the employees were wor king at the boom tip with the load block. Employee #1 was supposed to be removin g only the cotter keys from the boom pins. Apparently he also removed the lower boom pins before repositioning the pendant lines. When he drove out the second l ower pin with a hammer, the boom collapsed onto him, crushing and killing him.
