Occupational safety report faults operator of drill rig that landed on car in downtown Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY — The only person injured when a drill rig collapsed earlier this year in Salt Lake City failed to follow the manufacturer’s procedures, according to a report from Utah Occupational Safety and Health.
The rig was drilling holes for a high rise on State Street at 200 South. It overturned the night of March 15 — its mast landing in a lane of traffic on State Street and crushing a parked SUV. Only the drill rig’s operator was injured. The report said he fell 12 feet out of the cab; he suffered a broken vertebra.The report found the operator was moving the rig with its support footings fully retracted and its mast straight in the air.
The collapse is still vivid for Derek Humfleet, manager of Jeanie’s Smoke Shop next to the construction site.
