Incident on Aug 27, 2019: Employee's finger is amputated during pipeline installation
At 2:40 p.m. on August 27, 2019, Employee #1 and coworkers were installing a new water pipe in a ditch/trench. To stab the pipes together, the employees used a Lift-It continuous round sling, Model RS90W, placed around the open ball end of the pipe and attached to an excavator, although this was not the manufacturer's intended vertical lifting usage for the continuous round sling. As the excavator applied horizontal force to stab the pipes together, the strap slipped, and the water pipe fell. Employee #1 sustained a partial amputation of his right ring finger. He received medical treatment for the amputation and was released without hospitalization.
