On December 14, 2000, a 38-year-old stevedore (the victim) at a river-port materials-handling service died after he was struck by the boom tip of a mobile crane. On December 19, 2000, the NIOSH Division of Safety Research (DSR) learned of the occurrence through an internet clipping service. On January 2, 2001, a DSR safety engineer met with the investigating Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) compliance officer and reviewed the case. On January 3, 2001, the safety engineer traveled to the incident site, examined and photographed the dock and crane, and discussed the case with the company's vice president of operations and the company safety and compliance officer. |
