Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170375331

Event: 05/03/1994

Employee's foot burned by molten metal

Employees of American Brass and Iron Foundry were manually pushing ladles of molten iron from a furnace to a holding container and returning the empty ladles to the furnace. The ladles ran along an overhead track and were held steady by a latch that would be unhooked when the ladle was to be emptied. An employee returning an empty ladle struck Employee #1's full ladle when the empty ladle swung at a switching point. This caused a defective latch on the full ladle to open. As a result, the full ladle spilled molten iron, burning the left foot of Employee #1. Accident related violations of 8CCR 3385(a) and 8CCR 3328(c) were issued.
