Abstract: At 1:20 a.m. on November 15, 2021, an employee was assisting his coworker with the installation of a sow block for a forging hammer, the coworker was operating a forklift carrying the block. The employee directed his coworker backwards to realign the suspended block. The employee's hand was on top of a pile of timber to which a load strap was attached. As the block was moving, it contacted the bottom of the forging hammer, causing the timber to rotate and the employee's hand was crushed between the timber and the forklift tine. The employee was hospitalized to treat crushing injuries to his hand.
