Narrative

On August 8, 2018, employees were rigging an engine coupling on a ship when the tension in the chain fall released and the load shifted, pinning the injured employee's arm against the ship's piping. The weight of the load (coupling) was 4,800 lbs. The employee's right arm was crushed, fracturing the radius and ulna and requiring surgery.
