Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on August 7, 2019, Employee #1, a foreman on a bridge replacement project, was working at ground level while a coworker operated a tower crane. Employee #1 rigged a set of steel plates and connected them to a wire rope sling. As the coworker operated the crane to hoist the bundle of steel plates, Employee #1 noticed a half hitch knot beginning to develop on the wire rope sling as it left the ground. Employee #1 grabbed the knot with his left hand in an attempt to undo it. His middle finger became caught in the knot, and the wire rope sling quickly tightened and wrapped around the finger. The crane continued to hoist the load, and Employee #1's finger was pulled upward and ripped off his left hand. Employee #1, his hand freed from the knot, fell to the dirt floor surface. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment of this finger amputation.
