| Summary Nr: 170203210 | Event: 06/10/1990 | Employee Struck By Rope While Using Rail Car Puller | ||||
| Employee #1 was using a rope on a capstan-type railroad car puller to move a loaded chlorine rail car that had rolled off the end of a rail siding. Employee #1 was pulling on the tail of a rope that was attached to the rail car. He was standing a few feet from the rotating car puller. The 1 1/2 in. diameter polypropylene rope was wrapped twice around the Stevens Adamson Inc. car puller driven by a 10 HP Allis Chalmers motor. The capstan of the car puller was 12 in. in diameter and 9 in. high. The rope became crossed on the capstan, resulting in loss of control by the employee. The rope was incorrectly rigged. Employee #1 was struck by the rope and suffered a fractured right lower leg and foot. | ||||||
