Summary
The PSA investigates a slinger’s crushing injury during removal of a tote tank frame section on Johan Sverdrup. It examines blind lifting, chain hooks used as chokes, unknown load characteristics and ratchet-strap release. Findings address deficient planning, unclear responsibilities and inadequate operational barriers, while emergency response functioned as planned.
