Narrative

An employee was attempting to rig a heat exchanger for removal from the site. A steel shaft was placed across the face of the heat exchanger's tie bolts. Mechanical jacks were then used to lift the heat exchanger so a pallet jack could be put underneath it. The steel shaft slipped out, causing the heat exchanger to fall forward onto the employee, pinning him under it. The employee sustained fractures to vertebrae, ribs, and an ankle.
