Description

Presents the findings of an investigation into a workplace fatality in the manufacturing and processing sector that occurred in August, 2007. A 42-year old male worker, employed as a welder, was working with other workers using an overhead crane to rotate an 8,600 kg vessel onto its legs. The vessel was set on the floor. The worker moved towards the vessel to readjust the slings for repositioning. The crane hook was then to be lowered; although it moved to the side. The vessel was pulled across the floor, pinning the worker between two vessels. See the usage considerations section of this record for more information about OHS work site investigations.
