While unloading 12” x 12 metre pipe from trailer using a 25-tonne crane, the auxiliary hook wire rope snapped and fell to the ground. The hook, weighing 60kg landed 1.5m from the rigger who was at the rear of the trailer. There was no 3rd party inspection on the auxiliary wire rope for the last 2 years.
