Incident date: 2019-09-20
NAICS industry code: 333132

An employee was using a crane to move a 6,000-pound piece of equipment into another piece of equipment. The first piece did not fully go inside the second, causing the nylon lifting straps to loosen and making adjustments necessary. As the employee made adjustments, the 6,000-pound piece suddenly dropped into the other piece; the nylon straps tightened on the lifting bail ring and crushed the employee's fingers.
