Employee's Arm Is Amputated by Dock Plate

On July 10, 2009, Employee #1 and some coworkers were completing the installation of a dock leveling plate. They lifted the plate to facilitate the installation of the hydraulic and electrical connections. They used a 2-ton chain fall to raise the plate. Employee #1 was under the plate, accessing and evaluating the location of the safety maintenance strut. His arm was amputated when the plate fell because the connecting hardware to the chain fall had been incorrectly installed. He was hospitalized for treatment.
