Employee Fractures Hand When Caught Between Blocks

Employee #1, a set-up mechanic, was setting the Number 1 nozzle block, weighing approximately 5,000 lbs from the vertical to horizontal position when he pushed the wrong button on the radio controlled crane box. Employee #1 pushed the stop button. This caused the Number 1 nozzle block to swing in the direction of the Number 2 nozzle block. Employee #1 instinctively placed his hand between the two nozzle blocks to prevent equipment damage but resulted in fracture injuries to his left hand. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
