Final narrative
An employee was using an overhead hoist to move an injection blow mold from a work bench to a pallet. The mold halves were being held together with a C-clamp. As the mold was being moved, it became entangled in the electrical cord for the hoist. The injured employee freed the mold from the electrical cord. The C-clamp then contacted the hoist beam supporting the leg and loosened, allowing the bottom half of the mold to fall. The mold struck the injured employee's left foot, lacerating it, fracturing the second metatarsal, and chipping the big toe bone. The employee was hospitalized.
