Employee's Tongue Is Amputated When Struck in Chin

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on March 10, 2007, Employee #1 was working with a crew cleaning out a well, Number 10. They were using an ACCO BX-600 load binder, for securing the hoisting block to a set of tables. Employee #1 was in the process of rising the block after the crew had pulled wire rope through it. He was removing the load binders from the hoist block and tables. The load binder released under load pressure at which point the lever came in contact with his chin. He severed his tounge and broke several teeth and was hospitalized.
