Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was part of a crew removing a piece of ornamental steel using a sling made of synthetic material. The sling was passing over the teeth on the shovel of a track excavator when a choke hitch was applied to the steel. Employee #1 was walking next to the load when the sling failed and the steel piece dropped onto his right foot. A base plate at the end of it amputated his four smaller toes. The sling had previously been damaged.
