Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:45 p.m. on September 12, 1995, Employee #1 and a coworker, who was operating a crane, were attempting to load the payoff of a large mill. Employee #1 was between the slit coil, which was hanging on the crane, and the rack. When the crane operator pushed the button to move the coil east toward the payoff, the coil moved backward and pressed Employee #1 against the rack. He suffered a contusion. The crane's hand control switches were miswired, causing the east direction of the switch to move the trolley to the west and vice versa.
