| To remove a steel plate placed in a rice paddy for
construction work, workers attached a wire rope to the hanging hook of the
bucket of a drag shovel and pulled it. |
|
When the vehicle pulled out the plate and rotated to the left, the drag shovel tipped over, pinning the operator beneath it.
|
| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
Use a vehicle rated for the work being done, such as a mobile crane or hydraulic shovel with a crane attachment. Work should also only be performed by certified personnel. |
| 2. |
After hanging a load, rotate the arm slowly to keep the vehicle from becoming unstable. |
