Narrative

An employee was preparing to move a 2,800-pound mold using a sling lifting chain and overhead crane to insert a mold plug. Once the end of the mold was 12 to 16 inches from the floor, the employee stopped the crane and moved to insert the mold plug into the mold. The mold slipped out of the chains onto the employee's left foot, causing crush injuries to the first and second toes. The employee was hospitalized.
