Investigation Summary
At 7:35 a.m. on September 18, 2020, Employee #1, a qualified rigger, was rigging steel beams for a hoisting operation at a parking garage construction site in South San Francisco. Multiple rows of steel beams were placed on dunnage, ready to be lifted. While standing on one steel beam, Employee #1 observed the adjacent beam being lifted. The flange of the lifted beam became caught on the dunnage, causing the dunnage and the beam Employee #1 was standing on to be lifted as well. Employee #1 signaled the Crane Operator to stop the lift, and when the lift stopped, the beam bounced. Employee #1 was lifted approximately one foot off the ground and attempted to jump to a "safe spot." However, Employee #1 misjudged the jump and landed on his left elbow. The employee suffered a shattered left elbow and was hospitalized for treatment.
