Narrative

An employee had just lowered a steel mold to the floor using an overhead crane. He needed to disconnect the lifting chain ring that was attached to the crane and the hoist ring connected to the mold. He was grabbing the lifting chain to disconnect it when his right hand was caught between the chain ring and the steel mold, breaking two bones in his hand.
