Investigation Summary
On January 26, 2005, Employee #1, a worker at a company that manufactures and installs countertops, was guiding a stone slab that was being moved by the company's distributor. As the distributor used a gripper mechanism to lift the slab that weighed approximately 700 lbs, the gripper mechanism slipped out of the hook and landed on Employee #1's left foot. He was hospitalized and treated for four amputated toes.
