Summary
A nylon sling parted during a platform rig-floor lift, dropping a load that fatally injured a floorhand. The notice calls for sling protection against sharp edges, keeping personnel clear of suspended loads and unobstructed operator views. A crane and air tugger were used; drill collars and pipe obstructed the tugger operator’s view.
