Abstract: At 9:15 p.m. on May 24, 2012, Employee #1, of Kloeckner Metals Corporation, was operating a bridge crane (CraneVeyor Bridge crane, Serial Number: 46077-20 with a Whiting Hoist, Serial Number 10506) to move steel plates (10 millimeter thick by 96 inches by 628 inches) from one stack to another using a combination of hooks and magnets. Using two sets of hooks, Employee #1 picked and placed the steel plate onto the stack. Employee #1 then moved both trolleys north of the hooks and lowered the magnets to pick up the steel plate temporarily, removing tension on the hooks while he manually released them. Employee #1 removed the set of hooks closest to him, lowered the plate back onto the stack, and stopped to talk to a coworker. Employee #1 then accidently released the magnets, allowing them to swing freely. Employee #1 was standing on the steel plate when the north magnet (Waker Magnetics, Part Number AXM-12810 / Dimensions: 16 inches by 64 inches / Weight: 1,600 pounds) struck his right ankle, fracturing it. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital by ambulance and was admitted for greater than 24 hours for treatment.
