Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and coworkers were attempting to move a load of blocks that had derailed from a Palo loader/unloader system. Employee #1 was wrapping a chain around the rail, the forks on a forklift, and the rack of blocks when he apparently crossed an electrical signaling device (proximity switch) with the chain. This caused a rack shift to slide toward him. His leg became pinned between the rack shift and the frame of the machine. He sustained irreparable damage to his leg, which was surgically amputated below the knee.
