August 18, 2008 PA · Metal/Non-Metal welder (shop) Fatality · MACHINERY
Coolspring Stone Supply Inc · Struck by falling object

The contract employee was helping to install a counterweight on Gradall XL5110 Scaler. As the weight was lifted into place, one of the connector links of the chain used for lifting broke, causing one end of the weight to strike the ground. This in turn broke the other end, which allowed the weight to strike the employee as it fell.
