Investigation Summary
On April 8, 2013, Employee #1 was assisting a crane operator and his coworker guide a 4.6 ft wide by 8 ft diameter steel reel containing approximately 12,000 lbs. of copper cable into a pay-off stand designed to handle the load. The employee alerted the crane operator's coworker of his intentions to assist, however the crane operator stated he had no knowledge of this. Employee #1 was not in the crane operator's line of sight when the employee jumped from the dock and assumed his position inside the pay-off stand. As the crane operator lowered the reel into position, the reel struck the employee pinning him between the reel and the pay-off stand. The coworker pushed the reel off of the employee. Emergency Medical Service was called, and Employee #1 was transported by helicopter to the hospital, where he was treated for fractures to the face, the orbital, and cheek and jaw bones. Employee #1 also suffered seven fractured ribs, one fractured vertebrae and a lacerated liver. The employee was hospitalized for three days.
