Investigation Summary
On March 12, 1998, Employee #1 was preparing a load of rails to be set down atop a storage shed. With his left hand, Employee #1 was placing blocks in choker slings under the load, which consisted of two bundles individually bundled by the factory. Employee #1's other hand was resting flat on the load. Suddenly, the load shifted and Employee #1's right hand fingers were caught between the rails. The tips of the index, middle, and ring fingers were amputated. Employee #1 was hospitalized. He also reported that tag lines were attached to the load.
