Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on May 9, 2017, an employee was using an overhead crane to load a round metal disk onto a lathe. While loading the disc onto the lathe, the disc eye bolt rotated. This occurred in combination with slack in the hoist assembly fixture, which inadvertently uncoupled the safety latch, allowing the eye bolt to detach from the disc. The disc fell and struck the employee, who sustained lacerations and fractured bones in one of his hands. The employee was hospitalized and received treatment.
