Investigation Summary
At 7:45 a.m. on August 19, 2021, an employee working as a stock handler for a manufacturer of architectural metal work was repositioning a dolly under a baghouse. The baghouse had been lifted when it slipped from one of the truck forks and landed on the employee's hand. The employee was hospitalized to treat a crushed hand, which required suturing and finger amputations.
