Incident date: 2024-02-18
NAICS industry code: 331110

An employee was on the ground in a stripping/bricking area, working with a cab crane operator to set rods. As the crane lifted a rod out of a center tile setter and hoisted it up, the sheave cover on the 20-ton hoist lifted a trumpet by the trumpet ear. Once the trumpet came off the ground, the base kicked out. The trumpet pinned the employee's right leg against the tile setter.
