Abstract: At 8:30 a.m. on June 3, 2020, an employee was assisting a forklift driver in setting a large concrete block on the ground. The employee's job was to stand on the floor next to the wooden planks and guide the setting of the concrete block onto the planks. The concrete block had four hooks attached to it. A metal chain went through these hooks to hold the block in place while it is being set down. As the forklift operator was in the process of placing the concrete block on the ground, the employee got into position to place a 4 by 4 underneath the load. While the employee started to place the piece of wood, the chain sling that was carrying the load failed. A link broke, causing and eye bolt to shear from the block, resulting in the block moving and falling onto the employee's hand. The employee was hospitalized to treat crushing injuries and the amputation of several fingers.
