Narrative

Boom truck was not setup properly due to limitations caused by concrete barriers. After the boom truck flipped on its side due to outriggers not being deployed an all stop was not called to access the hazards presented by the equipment failure. After attempting to safely stabilize the hoisted load, consideration was not made for a safe clear escape path.
