| A drag shovel with a crane attachment is being used to lift
and move a sewer pipe in a partially sloped work yard, and the workers are
trying to lay the pipe on the ground. |
|
Since it had been hung off balanced, the steel pipe began to roll on the ground, and a worker was crushed between the steel pipes.

| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
Do not hang materials from single sling. Always use at least
two slings, and guide hanging loads using restraining ropes. |
| 2. |
Do not move loads when workers are nearby. Stay away from hanging loads. |
| 3. |
Develop signals that can be used between workers. |
