Investigation Summary
At about 10:15 a.m. on October 9, 1990, Employee #1 was operating the north slab transfer car in the rolling mill division of a large steel mill, transferring slabs from the #2 yard to the #1 yard. The overhead crane operator had misplaced some slabs so that they stuck out too far to the north, leaving a 6 1/4 in. space between the slabs and the operator's station of the transfer car. Employee #1, who was not watching the transfer car, activated the controller and moved the car toward the #1 west yard. When he finally looked at the moving transfer car, it was too late and he was crushed between the overhanging slabs and the operator's station. Employee #1 was hospitalized with a crushed pelvis.
