Abstract: Employee #1, of Libbey Owens Ford, was moving a stoce of glass (130 in. by 130 in. by 3/4 in.) from a storage location with a bridge crane. Employee #1 was standing back and to the side with the pendant controls, and two coworkers were assisting by handling the slings. Employee #1 said that when the initial tension was taken up by the slings, a noise was heard. He glanced to the left side of the stoce at the same time a shard of glass fell and pinned his leg to an adjacent wooden upright. The shard of glass measured 7 ft 9 in. long by 26 in. wide at one end and was somewhat pointed at the other. No safety violations were cited. Personal protective equipment was worn.
