Narrative

On January 17, 2025, at 12:15 p.m., an employee was moving 11-gauge steel sheets from a holding cart using a pendant-controlled, 1-ton jib hoist equipped with a plate clamp lifting attachment. With the plate clamp empty and open, the employee began raising the hoist. The clamp became caught on the bottom of the cart, tipping the cart in the direction of the employee. Several sheets of steel slid off the cart and struck the employee, resulting in several broken ribs, a broken left leg and ankle, a fractured kneecap, and a torn left ACL. The employee was hospitalized.
