Narrative

An employee was rotating a channel ring using a two-hooked wire cable. The channel ring rotated when only one hook was secured. The loose hook grabbed the nameplate of the channel ring and made it fall to the ground. It spun around like a coin and, when it came to a stop, it landed on the employee's foot, resulting in a laceration and tissue damage.
