Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was cutting a wire rope (bull line) with a wire rope cutter. This is a vise-like device that is struck with a sledge hammer, forcing a sharp chisel-shaped edge through the wire rope. Employee #1 was struck in the left eye by a piece of metal and has since experienced blindness in this eye. He states he is not sure what hit him in the eye--a piece of wire rope or a piece from the sledge hammer. This accident was not reported until 11 months after it occurred
