Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a boom crane in a metal scrap yard when the main drive gears began to make noise indicating they needed grease. He was applying grease to the drive gears when his arm was pulled in and amputated just below the elbow. The gears did not have guards over them to prevent the operator from becoming caught in them.
