Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:15 p.m. on March 14, 2021, Employee #1, a crane operator, was rigging a steel coil with a chain sling to lift it using an overhead crane. As he began to raise the coil, he noticed the chain sling was twisted. While attempting to straighten it, he continued lifting the coil, and his left index finger became pinched between the chain sling and the coil. The employee sustained a fractured left index finger and was hospitalized for treatment.
