Investigation Summary
On May 17, 2012, Employee #1 was engaged in fabricating a quick-connect magnet attachment for attaching a magnet to an excavator, for subsequent job site usage in separating ferrous from nonferrous metal. The employee was working by himself in the Welding Shop, near the fabrication table. Employee #1 was working on completing the remaining welds joining base plates. Employee #1's right foot was under the partially suspended quick coupler assembly. The employee was using a worn, frayed nylon sling to hoist a fabricated steel connector with a 5-Ton bridge crane, the sling broke, and the assembly dropped onto the employee's foot. Employee #1 suffered amputation of distal phalanx of each of the first and second toes of his right foot. The employee was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for an amputation. The employee remains hospitalized.
