Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on September 7, 2011, Employee #1 was attempting to re-adjust coil of steel that had telescoped out. Employee #1 was in the process of moving a coil of steel from the mandrill to the exit cart. The coil of steel started telescoping out on the exit cart, and Employee #1 positioned himself between the mandrill and the exit cart on which the steel coil was sitting to reposition the steel coil. With a remote joystick in hand, Employee #1 hit the joy stick which is unlabeled as far as what direction travel would be for the exit cart, thus pushing the cart towards the mandrill and pinning Employee #1 between the steel of coil on the exit cart and the mandrill. The pendant joystick can reach approximately 32 feet. Employee #1 was a 20 year employee with the company, and had been working at this position for approximately 2 years. There was no SOP for this position. The incident happened at break time and there were no witnesses. He was discovered by an auditor. The deceased was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries.
