Safety Alert

A Rigger 1 sustained a fractured right forearm when caught between a moving and stationary pipe during a lifting activity on September 5, 2024. The incident was attributed to inadequate planning, supervision, and failure to identify the center of gravity for the lift. Key lessons include the importance of thorough work planning, effective communication, and avoiding exposure to the line of fire during lifting operations.

Understand What Happened?


A Rigger 1 sustained a fracture to his right forearm after it was caught between a moving 6 ton - 56"dia x9.475m x 15.8mm SS branched pipe and a stationary pipe. The incident occurred when the IP attempted to
use his right forearm to prevent the collision of both pipes during lifting activity.

ASK Why Did it Happen? INCIDENT PHOTO


• Inadequate work planning and communication amongst the involved crew.
• No adequate supervision while the task was being performed.
• Absence of a specific lifting plan during the performance of the task.
• IP failed to move away from the swing radius of the load during the lift.
• Failure to identify the COG for the complex lift.

ASK What Worked?


• JOC was notified.
• Case Management.

THINK AND SPEAK UP: What Happens in Your Workplace?


• What are the requirements in lifting irregularly-shaped objects?
• What role does effective communication, and coordination play during lifting activities?
• How important is the accurate determination of the COG prior to lifting?
• How can we enhance workers’ awareness on safety protocols developed to prevent incidents concerning line of fire?

Lessons Learned and Corrective Actions


• Exercise sufficient work planning before executing any task.
• Always assess the characteristic of the load before lifting. Consider the COG of each object to be lifted.
• Determine the type of lift appropriate for the task.
• Avoid exposing yourself to the line of fire. Overconfidence always results in accidents.
• Non-routine lifts should only be performed when supervision is available at the work location.
