Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on September 7, 2011, Employee #1 was attempting to re-adjust coil of steel that had telescoped out. Employee #1 was in the process of moving a coil of steel from the mandrill to the exit cart. The coil of steel started telescoping out on the exit cart, and Employee #1 positioned himself between the mandrill and the exit cart on which the steel coil was sitting to reposition the steel coil. With a remote joystick in hand, Employee #1 hit the joy stick which is unlabeled as far as what direction travel would be for the exit cart, thus pushing the cart towards the mandrill and pinning Employee #1 between the steel of coil on the exit cart and the mandrill.
