Final narrative
Using a crane, an employee set a fuel tank down on jack stands. He unhooked the rigging on the north side of the tank. He turned around and stepped away from the tank while using the crane control to raise the hoist hooks. The rigging on the south end of the tank was still attached to the crane. The tank slid on the jack stands and struck the employee on the back of his legs and knocked him to the floor. The tank came to rest on his feet. The employee sustained bruised feet and a sprained tendon in the left foot.
An employee was walking into the motor control center (MCC) room when his right ring finger was caught in the hinge of a doorway. He sustained an open phalanx fracture, which resulted in a partial amputation above the first knuckle.
An employee was stacking concrete blocks for a concrete bunker. As a block was swinging into place, the employee's left leg was pinched between two blocks, resulting in injuries to his left heel and lower leg.
An employee was using a crane to move a 44-foot, 3,343-pound I-beam. As the beam was moving west, it straightened out (north to south), beginning to swing south toward the northwest corner of a building. The crane then sent the beam southward, directly toward the corner of the building. The beam caught the tips of the employee's left index, middle, and ring fingers against the building. The last joints of the middle and ring fingers were amputated, and the last joint of the index finger was partially crushed.
An employee was placing a board on top of a bundle of steel tubing. A crane was moving a bundle of steel that struck the employee and caught them against another bundle of steel tubing. The employee sustained a crushing injury and hematoma to the right upper leg.
Employees were using a crane to lower large tree stems and branches while removing limbs and branches from the load. This caused the load to shift and strike an employee in the back, resulting in a hematoma on the lower left part of their back and a fractured ankle.
