Invista S.a.r.l.

An employee was part of a team of four that was moving a large catalyst cartridge using a permanent hoist. The employee was aligning flanges on the bottom of the equipment as it was lowered into place using the hoist. The cartridge was lowered onto the support ring in the cartridge housing while the employee was gripping the support ring with both hands. The employee's fingers were crushed between the cartridge and its housing, causing fracture/amputation injuries to eight fingers.
