NAICS industry code: 332911

An employee was working to lift and flip a 1,100-pound disc on a table to grind the opposite side. Softeners had been put between the disc and the sling because the disc had sharp edges. During the lift, the softeners slipped out and the nylon sling was sliced by the sharp edges of the disc. The disc then fell onto the employee's foot. The employee was hospitalized with a fractured foot.
