2017 Second Alert - SA028_LTI#25.pptx
On Thursday 20th July 2017 during unloading of steel rebar bundle using a crane, a steel fixer was assisting a rigger on the bed of a trailer, which was at about 1.5 m off the ground. The steel fixer was placing wooden skids below the steel rebar bundle to create space for inserting the lifting gear. After the lifting gear had been inserted and while the load was being lifted, an 8mm binding rod used for securing the bundle snapped off, resulting in a sudden, loud noise. The loud noise startled the steel fixer and he panicked and jumped from the trailer bed. He landed heavily on the ground on his right hand, which resulted in a fracture to his right wrist.
