After disconnecting the cable, he moved back to the ladder attached to the mast and climbed down. He was holding onto a cross member of the mast with his right hand when the operator started operating the drill rig. The drill head came down and Employee #1's right hand got caught between the cross member and the plate that was moving down. Employee #1 sustained an injury to his right hand. He required five surgeries and was hospitalized for five days.
