Incident date: 2016-08-04
NAICS industry code: 332116

An employee was changing the rolls on the slitter and had the slitter roll hoisted with a crane. The roll was crooked/off balance on one side, which caused the sling strap to loosen. As the employee straightened the sling strap, the roll dropped down and struck his fingers between the sling strap and the roll. His left-hand ring and middle fingertips were surgically amputated.
