Investigation Summary
At 7:45 a.m. on January 26, 2017, an employee was working to remove bolts that were holding a 40,000 pound furnace scrapper in place. As he was arc welding the last bolt for removal, the furnace scrapper, which was sitting on an angle on the floor, fell. The employee's right foot became trapped under the furnace scrapper, causing the amputation of all five of his toes. The employee was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
