Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:15 a.m. on January 20, 2017, Employee #1 was operating an overhead crane. He used the crane to lower a hook-lifting device called a Crows Foot into an 18.5 in. intermediate ring coupler to store the device. The device had hung up in the coupler just before bottoming out, then suddenly dropped the last few inches. Employee #1s hand was still on a member of the device that was hinged and scissored. As the device was lowered, the member collapsed together, striking his left thumb and nearly shearing it completely off. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment, including amputation of his left thumb, and was then hospitalized.
