Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on September 19, 1991, Employee #1 had just unloaded a steel coil that weighed about 23,360 lb from a truck. Employee #1 used a C-hook attached to an overhead crane to set the coil on a pallet. As the truck moved away, Employee #1 maneuvered the suspended load to a location east of plant #1 for storage. As he moved the load, using hanging button controls, he positioned himself behind the C-hook. At this point, the load, which was about 4 in. from the floor, started to slip from the forks of the C-hook. The load fell, causing the C-hook to kick back and strike Employee #1 in the pelvic and abdominal area. Employee #1 sustained internal injuries and was hospitalized.
