Abstract: On September 30, 2008, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing a running line in an Alimack hoist tower. While Employee #1 was located in the Alimack hoist tower, the coworker was standing on top of a car feeding Employee #1 the line. The car suddenly descended a few inches, severing Employee #1's right big toe. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injury. During the accident investigation it was determined that the coworker inadvertently came into contact with the down button, which caused the dissention of the car. .
