Investigation Summary
On April 14, 2000, Employee #1, a journeyman carpenter, was working for Cahill Contractor, Inc. in San Francisco, California. A subcontractor had ironworkers performing post tensioning on the sixth floor. Employee #1 gave them a hand because the hydraulic ram was to be placed beyond the perimeter railing. The ram was also heavy. Employee #1 was standing on the exterior platform and was already attached onto a safety lanyard. Employee #1 assisted an ironworker to hold the ram up. A cable was stressed twice and when the pressure was released, the ram started to drop. Employee #1 reacted by attempting to catch or hold onto the falling ram and the pad of his left thumb was pinched and crushed. Employee #1 was taken to San Francisco General Hospital where he was hospitalized.
