Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were disposing of the damaged cable on a wind-up reel. A small crane was used to pick up the reel and place it in the recycling dumpster. Employee #1 split the reel by removing the bolts from the center of the hub, and the cable was dumped . The crane operator was then asked to move the two sections of the split reel back, but the reel had to be pushed together again to insert the bolts for re-assembly. Employee #1's side of the reel came loose and fell on his left foot, approximately 1 in. above the steel toe of his work boot. Three of his toes sustained serious injuries and later had to be surgically amputated.
