Employee amputates five toes when crushed by falling log

At 6:30 p.m. on October 17, 2020, an employee working as a machine operator for an aluminum refinery was training at an aluminum press. The employee went over to the log table to cut the bands off of the 1,100-pound logs. The logs were not placed all the way on the table and the last log was hanging over the stops. When the employee cut the strap, the last log fell onto his right foot crushing his toes. The employee was wearing steel toed shoes. The weight of the log crushed his steel toes. The employee amputated all five toes on his right foot and was hospitalized.
